Our Programs & Initiatives
Everything we do is informed and inspired by players who are dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
MLB Players STEM League
A baseball-inspired program for middle-school youth, run in partnership with Learn Fresh. The program brings to life the energy of the sport through a board game and curriculum that cultivate students’ math skills.
The program is FREE for youth-development organizations and schools of all types, and helps students build new skills, confidence, and a passion for learning through a fun and engaging program rooted in sport.
