All NYSP programs operate at no cost to the participants. In addition, NYSP programs allow institutions and their personnel to take an active role in community life and bettering of the community. The goal of the NYSP at Yale is to create a program that will benefit the participants in the community for many years to come. The NYSP aims to expose campers to the many resources on Yale's campus.

NYSP HISTORY:

In 1968, representatives of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports piloted the NYSP concept during the summer at two university athletics facilities.

On March 17, 1969, the White House announced that the federal government was committing $3 million to establish a sports program for economically disadvantaged youth. The federal grant has significantly increased to $15 million since then, and strong congressional support remains for NYSP objectives.

NYSP is a partnership between the federal government, represented by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the nation's colleges and universities, acting through the NCAA. Local support from within the communities of NYSP also helps make the program prosper.
The National Youth Sports Program (NYSP) has created positive opportunities for youth in at-risk environments for close to 40 years. Since 1969, NYSP has served youth between the ages of 9 and 16 through an organized program of sport skills and life instruction. NYSP has been conducted on the campuses of over 200 colleges and universities and served over 78,000 young people. NYSP has made an unprecedented effort to combine the promotion of athletic know-how and life skills that can assist participants in making a successful transition to adulthood through positive youth development.

NYSP AT YALE:

The NYSP at Yale, founded in 1996, enrolls close to 350 local youth in the program run by more than 75 staff members, including Yale student-athletes, local high school students, New Haven schoolteachers and coaches, and Yale staff. The program utilizes Yale Athletics facilities for all activities and the Hall of Graduate Studies dining facility for meals.
