The objective and purpose of this grass-roots organization is to enhance the quality of life for Baltimore City children, youth, and young adults by teaching, coaching, mentoring and educating through baseball as a means to supplement education obtained in local schools. Our mission is to rejuvenate the game of baseball and softball in Baltimore City while cultivating cultural diversity and youth development in all aspects of the game. BUBA serves +500 city youth annually through a series of programs. All programs align by working with youth and young adults, parents, coaches and teachers and aim to foster an environment of learning skills, growth, building character, empowerment and fulfillment - including tools and resources for college advancement. BUBA creates a culture among youth, families and volunteers where we all have fun, focus on our craft and become better individuals in our family and community. Through our existing partnerships we will provide youth-centered space for us to execute our mission, improve the community and lives of children, youth and young adults.
