2025 celebrates BYAA’s 25th year of supporting education through athletics in the Paso del Norte Region. Our programs have served thousands of student-athletes and their families, connecting students with low-to-no-cost out-of-school time team play, socioemotional enrichment, college readiness mentorship, elite skills development, and scholarship opportunities, supporting their educational goals.

Since 2000, over 60 BYAA student athletes have been connected to college scholarships, and many more have gone on to universities with grants and the financial support necessary to make their degree a reality.

In 2025, El Paso was ranked 135 in a list of 150 cities in educational attainment, (Newsweek, 2025). BYAA’s programming helps remove barriers to educational attainment while fostering the personal growth of our region’s youth.

BYAA’s programming contributes to success at every age and stage of development, leveraging athletics to improve educational outcomes. Your generous contribution to BYAA’s ladder to success creates new opportunities for the youth of the Paso del Norte region.
