Youth
Programs

Youth Education through Sports (YES) provides Northeast Ohio's under resourced youth with experiences that illustrate how sports empower and prepare individuals for success in life.

Through a strong partnership with the Sherwin-Williams Company, YES provides youth in City of Cleveland's 21 recreation centers and the local community access to unique sporting experiences.

Greater Cleveland Sports Commission has a robust history of serving the community through high impact programs. YES serves the Greater Cleveland area by:

• providing children with opportunities for physical activity
• providing access to unique experiences
• offering health and wellness education.

YES program events feature collaborative partnerships with community organizations and occur in conjunction with select Greater Cleveland Sports Commission hosted events.
