“Squashwise is a long-term support system creating opportunities for aspiring baltimore youth. By using squash as a motivator, we help students realize their academic, athletic and personal potential. We ensure that each student graduates from high school prepared for their next step - ready to excel in college and continuing education, as well as in the workplace. We use a goal-oriented approach to match students to post-high school education and career placements that fit their readiness and interests. Students join the squashwise family in middle school, and we continue supporting them as they achieve their educational, athletic, and career goals.”

“Volunteers provide tutoring and coaching services to students.”

“The heart of the squashwise program is the creation of long-lasting relationships between students and staff which build confidence, positive decision-making, and self-efficacy. The primary outcomes include promotion to academically rigorous high schools, on-time graduation, college matriculation, stable employment, and achievement of a post-secondary degree or certification in a chosen trade. In most years, more than 85% of students advance to selective high schools, and nearly 90% of all program graduates have matriculated to college, compared to just 54% of their peers in baltimore city public schools. Students also travel across the region for squash tournaments, summer camps, and college visits, expanding their horizons and building their athletic and academic experiences.”
