Who we are
Established in 2014, Uplift NYC is a New York State not-for-profit organization providing inner city youth and their families with access to key resources such as educational, health, cultural, and legal aid services.
Since our founding, we have focused on our Uptown Basketball Academy, which uses basketball as a vehicle to increase youth participation in physical exercise and empower youth to become leaders on the court and in their community, lead healthier lifestyles, and overcome socio-economic obstacles.
