Why We Exist

The concept of the NFL Youth Education Town (YET) Center was born out of the desire of the National Football League to leave a lasting legacy to communities hosting a Super Bowl, and was founded on the philosophy that by coupling education with recreation, disadvantaged children can overcome the obstacles to success.

NFL YET Tampa Bay is a collaborative effort of YET, Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa Bay.

YET provides at-risk youth in Tampa Bay with a safe place to be a kid! Children participate vaious sports, educational, social, cultural and health oriented programs designed to enhance their development and provide them with hope and opportunity for the future. 

We encourage you to spend some time looking around our site to see what we are all about and we hope you would like to support our efforts by becoming a center business partner, volunteer or donor.
