About Us

Established as a legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, the Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) has a clear vision – provide life-changing access to sport for the next generation. To achieve this, YSA delivers nationally-recognized, affordable afterschool programs, encompassing a diverse range of activities from skiing and mountain biking to culinary arts and photography delivered in bite-sized four to five week programs. We also provide fundraising support to seven competitive winter sport teams, and scholarships to junior athletes. Through these initiatives, we engage more than 4500 youth each year and provide tangible need-based support along all stages of their athletic journeys.
