Urban Youth Racing School

UYRS was born out of the highly successful Urban Youth Racing School, established in Philadelphia in 1998 by Anthony Martin. With a 23-year track record of success behind us, as well as national recognition, we look forward to reversing the plight of urban youth in this country by creating opportunities, igniting careers and transforming lives.

We are losing the race in the global marketplace. Urban Youth racing School is in a uique position to help. 

We are at a critical stage in the history of the United States. Our education system is failing. Our students – particularly minority students – are not pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Urban Youth E-Mentoring Best Practices Guide

UYRS MENTOR PROGRAM PARTNERSHIPS that can enrich lives on every level. The “WHAT IT TAKES” SYMPOSIUMS and the E-MENTORING PROGRAM were designed to teach boys ages 14-18 in urban areas “what it takes’’ to be successful in work and life via relationships with caring, ethical, well-regarded men. Mentors with backgrounds in business, finance, technology, medicine, law, and athletics provide the boys with ongoing emotional and academic support (in person and online), with special attention paid to science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. This is a mutually rewarding program with the potential to change lives.
