Bonnie Youth Club is a volunteer-led, year-round youth organization in Brooklyn, New York, that uses baseball to help young people build the skills and values they need to thrive. Each year, its program serves about 400 participants ages 5 to 21, many from economically disadvantaged inner-city communities. Through baseball and ongoing mentorship, the club supports young people’s academic, social, and emotional development while encouraging discipline, self-worth, responsibility, teamwork, and respect for diverse backgrounds and abilities.

More than 75 volunteers—including teachers, social workers, businesspeople, blue-collar workers, college students, and former club players—help deliver the program and provide positive role models. Bonnie Youth Club emphasizes education, community responsibility, cooperation, healthy competition, and giving one’s best. Its goal is to develop each participant’s abilities and prepare young people to become productive, responsible adults.

The organization’s online merchandise shop offers direct-to-consumer products and provides a way for supporters to engage with the Bonnie Youth Club. Visitors can also learn about the organization, contact the club, or make a donation to support its work.
