Youth Ambassador Program featured on FOX 29 News

The Basketball Embassy’s Youth Ambassador Program was featured Tuesday on FOX 29 News in San Antonio, highlighting TBE’s work in underserved communities and homeless shelters.

Reporter John Elizondo came out to a session and observed a practice before interviewing TBE president Chris Dial and YAP director Eric Bitoni on how the program impacts and empowers at-risk youth.

"I want to make sure we're maximizing the fastest growing game in the world in one of the best basketball cities in the world"

YAP has returned to in-person programming at both Haven for Hope and SAMMinistries and will pick back up at elementary schools around the city this summer through its partnership with SA Youth.
