Emanuel Community Center is focused on improving the lives of disadvantaged youth in the Greater Cincinnati community. We accomplish this through the Cincinnati Squash Academy, an urban squash program started and designed by the members of the board. With a facility located in Over-the-Rhine, this program provides academic support, athletic training, community service, mentorship, cultural enrichment and college placement help for its students.
The Emmanuel Community Center runs the Cincinnati Squash Academy (CSA), an urban squash program serving approximately 50 students. The mission of the program is to change the trajectory of disadvantaged youth in the Greater Cincinnati area by helping them reach their academic and athletic potential. The majority of students who participate in programming attend schools located close to the Over-the-Rhine facility. CSA is a member of the Squash & Education Alliance, which oversees 20+ similar programs across the country. Urban squash is a nationally-tested youth development model that provides intensive year-round programming. It engages students from fourth grade through college and beyond. The Cincinnati Squash Academy strives to have a transformative impact on its participants. Interested students can enter the academy after making it through a 6-8 week tryout period where staff assesses them on attendance, behavior, grit and academic and athletic potential. This year, 20 new students were enrolled, though six of them quickly dropped out due to struggles related to the pandemic. Each student receives over 200 hours of programming, comprised of academic tutoring and assistance, along with squash and athletic training. Students compete in squash tournaments locally and nationally. Additionally, our students have achieved academic success which has resulted in acceptance and scholarship awards to prestigious and highly competitive private secondary schools. Furthermore, the students are exposed to cultural and community enrichment activities. During the 2019 fiscal year, the Cincinnati Squash Academy recruited 20 new students, launched a college prep program for its 13 high school students, and shifted from in-person to virtual sessions. It also provided supplies and resources to families (as needed) to help cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.
