In 2016, the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative (PYSC) launched its membership program to enhance the capacity of youth development organizations in Philadelphia.
PYSC aims to strengthen the sector and positively impact over 100,000 youth served by its members. Membership has grown from 26 to over 200 organizations and continues to expand. We invite grassroots organizations to join us to drive positive change within the community.
**PYSC Membership is free because we believe sports and health are rights for every child.**
