Overview
NUSEA has 12 member programs in 11 cities that enroll more than 1,000 elementary, middle, high school and college students. Located in Baltimore, Boston, the Bronx, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Harlem, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New Haven, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Santa Barbara, these nonprofit organizations provide intensive after-school, weekend and summer programming that includes academics, squash, mentoring, community service, college placement and more. In order to become – and remain – a member of NUSEA, programs are required to meet a range of criteria which demonstrate that they are organizationally sound and that they provide their students with intensive, year-round support. NUSEA does not control or manage our member programs. Our role is to provide a framework in which ideas can be shared and best practices identified. We lead and support member programs through our collective expertise and we leverage our role as a national entity to organize tournaments and camps across the country, to raise funds for member programs, and to help start new programs in cities that do not have them.
