Job Description


Organizational Overview

Philadelphia Youth Basketball, Inc. (PYB) was officially launched in June, 2015, with a mission to create transformative opportunities for thousands of young people, especially those from under-resourced families and communities, to reach their full potential as students, athletes, and positive leaders.  A diverse and impassioned group of individuals, including leaders from the grass-roots to the tree-tops, have been working diligently to execute upon this mission by building an impactful program, a robust and sustainable organization, and ultimately a state-of-the-art youth basketball and education center to enable us to provide empowering experiences to many more children, youth, and families. 


PYB aims to instill six key tenets of its community agreement principles across its organization with Coach-Mentors and young people:


  • Safe Space - It is our responsibility to create a judgment-free environment where everyone feels welcome.
  • Trust - We deeply believe in each other and will work to form positive relationships.
  • Respect - We will honor each individual and treat everyone with a high level of respect. We strive to treat others how they want to be treated and ask for the same in return.
  • Integrity - We strive to create an environment where honesty and equity are valued and we have a responsibility to restore relationships when necessary. 
  • Care - We strive to be empathetic in protecting the health and welfare of each other and our space.
  • Teamwork - We find strength in our peers and strive to create an environment that honors all of our roles on a team.
