Empowering youth through education, mentorship & athletics
Team New England Youth Academy provides academic, mentorship, athletic, and service-learning programs to positively impact the development of youth in marginalized communities in New England.
TNE is dedicated to breaking down barriers for underserved youth by providing access to education, mentorship, and athletic opportunities.
What began as a small community initiative has now grown into a comprehensive program:
SERVING OVER 1,000
YOUTH ANNUALLY ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
We are on a mission trying to shift the culture.
OUR MISSION
To change the generational trajectory of underserved youth both domestically and globally by providing esteemed educational and athletic opportunities.
To foster equity, inclusion, and accessibility for inner-city youth by guaranteeing access to life-changing experiences and invaluable mentorship through athletics and academics.
OUR VISION
OUR MODEL
Since our founding in 2016, we have developed a holistic model that serves as the foundational framework driving our program initiatives. Our approach engages, educates, and empowers young people by addressing their academic, social, and athletic needs.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Collaborative events, family outreach programs, volunteer initiatives, mentorship opportunities, and partnerships with local organizations.
We are changing the narrative.
Underserved youth in marginalized communities face significant barriers to success, including limited access to quality education, mentorship, and systemic inequities. These challenges often keep young people trapped in cycles of poverty, hindering their academic growth and social development.
We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to break through these barriers. By providing essential resources—education, mentorship, and athletic training—we aim to change the trajectory of their lives and break the cycle of poverty and inequality.
We are bigger than basketball.
Using basketball as our vehicle, we create programs that provide pathways to transformative academic and athletic opportunities.
Our impact goes far beyond the game. We’re not just developing athletes—we’re building leaders, scholars, and community changemakers.
Team New England is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth through transformative programs that blend academics, athletics, and leadership development.
Based in Boston, MA, we serve youth aged 10-18 both domestically and internationally, providing essential resources and support to ensure they have access to quality education, mentorship, and opportunities to thrive in school and in life.
Today, we serve over 1,000 young people annually through a holistic blend of education, basketball, and enrichment programs.
We are Team New England.
We are building something special; Brick by brick.
Your involvement can make a significant difference in the lives of underserved youth. Together, we can build something extraordinary—brick by brick.
Thank you to all who support us in spreading love the TNE way.
