OUR MISSION

CitySquash is a not-for-profit after-school enrichment program based in the Bronx. The organization helps motivated and talented young people from economically disadvantaged households fulfill their academic, athletic and personal potential.

CitySquash invests deeply in each of our participants. Students join CitySquash in third grade or sixth grade and we support them until they graduate from college. Our goals for our team members are for them to:

• Develop strong character

• Improve academic performance

• Become competitive squash players

• Attend high quality high schools

• Graduate from college

CitySquash’s intensive, year-round programming includes squash, tutoring, mentoring, community service, travel, high school placement, college prep, career services and more.
