About Us

Youth Texas Teams is a youth-led nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the way young athletes experience sports, mental health, and literacy. Founded by three passionate young leaders, our mission is to empower the next generation both on and off the field through education, advocacy, and creative expression.

We believe sports have the power to unite communities and shape resilient, confident youth. Our programs and publications focus on the whole athlete, nurturing mental wellness, leadership, and lifelong learning. By integrating mental health awareness and literacy into athletics, we help young people develop essential coping skills, self-confidence, and academic readiness.

Through our online magazine, mentorship initiatives, and community outreach, Youth Texas Teams gives youth a platform to share their stories, strengthen their voices, and inspire their peers. Students write for our magazine, developing their literacy and communication skills while using their creativity to highlight the real experiences of youth athletes. Each issue features articles, personal reflections, and educational resources that promote positive mental health practices, encourage reading and writing, and highlight the importance of teamwork, empathy, and sportsmanship

We also engage youth and the broader community through our YouTube Channel, where we host interviews with student athletes, coaches, counselors, community leaders, parents, and partners. These conversations create open dialogue around mental wellness, motivation, and life lessons learned through sports.

Our organization partners with schools, athletic programs, and local businesses to expand access to literacy and mental wellness resources. By collaborating with schools, community
organizations, and supporters, we provide resources and programs that promote emotional
wellness, educational success, and leadership both on and off the field. With the support of
sponsors and donors, we provide workshops, youth-led writing opportunities, and wellness programs designed to equip young athletes with tools for success in sports and in life.

We aim to become a trusted nonprofit resource that bridges the gap between mental health and sports education, supported by community partnerships, sponsorships, and donor engagement. Through accessible programming, scholarships, and storytelling, we envision a future where every youth athlete has the tools, support, and confidence to excel in their sport, in school, and in life.

At Youth Texas Teams, we believe that when youth thrive mentally, emotionally, and academically, their potential knows no limits. Together, we are building stronger teams, healthier minds, and brighter futures, one story at a time.
