Ways to Help
There are many ways to get involved with the Youth Sports Alliance (YSA)
Donate
Support Gaddis YSA Endowment
The mission of the Gaddis YSA Endowment is to ensure that Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) programs are accessible to all students in our community regardless of race, gender, family income, or ability. The fund seeks to provide all students opportunities to gain lifelong lessons learned through sports and spark passion to play in our community playground.
Objectives
- Provide consistent financial resources to YSA for afterschool programs by establishing an initial two million dollar endowment, prior to any distributions.
- Increase scholarships for students from families making up to 80% of the area median income, roughly $100,000 for a family of four in Summit County. Scholarships include fees, any necessary required equipment or clothing, and often transportation.
- Decrease the cost to all students participating in our programs.
- Provide transportation for all afterschool programs, to increase participation from families with working caregivers.
Donate online or contact us for other options like payment plans, annual giving, planned giving/bequests, or donation of appreciated assets.
Give Where Needed
Provide help where the organization deems most necessary! Sometimes funding provides much needed technology updates or Spanish translations for scholarship applications.

Volunteer
YSA needs volunteers for all of our events and programs. It may mean helping with registration at JANS Winter Welcome or riding a bus with students to an after school program. Most volunteers are drawn from sports programs or parents of after school program participants, but often we need more!
