Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $146,401 spent. Core Youth Development & Community Training- Managed year-round soccer programming and technical training for 200 youth athletes within the Brooklyn community. This included the "Just4 Kicks" grassroots initiative, which focuses on foundational motor skills and sportsmanship for early-stage players, as well as intensive Summer Camp sessions. These programs utilize a structured technical curriculum to promote physical fitness and character building in a supportive, accessible community environment. Competitive Excellence & National Achievement- Facilitated entry and logistics for elite-level competitive tournaments and league pathways. A significant 2025 milestone included the PYSC 2007 team successfully competing through multiple qualifying levels to earn a spot at the National Championships in July 2025. Participation in such high-level events provides athletes with vital exposure to collegiate scouting and diverse competition, while fostering the resilience and discipline required for national-stage performance. Financial Accessibility & Community Impact- Organized community fundraising events, such as the club BBQ and awards dinner, to maintain program affordability for all participants. These efforts ensured that high-level athletic opportunities-including the pathway to National competitions-remained accessible to underserved families, bridging the gap between registration fees and the total cost of elite-level youth development
