Keep Youth Dreams Alive (KYDA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, led by experienced coaches and youth development professionals.
The History
Keep Youth Dreams Alive was established in 1994 by community leader and coach, Victor Hall.This program was an evolution of Coach Vic’s organization, Take No Prisoners, which helped keep hundreds of young people in the Bronx off the street and out of the criminal justice system.His vision has come to life over the past two decades, and have shaped countless lives.
Our organization has evolved rapidly over the past decade, but has stayed true to our core principles. Building on this solid foundation, KYDA is rolling out enrichment programs for 3rd to 12th grades and travel youth basketball teams; recreational and competitive.
