BUBA is now accepting “indications of interest” for its Summer Leadership Internship Program for high school students.

We are seeking high school students who want a meaningful summer opportunity to gain experience in youth sports, leadership, nonprofit programming, and community engagement. Interns will support BUBA’s summer activities and build skills that can be included on college, scholarship, and resume applications. We understand that many applicants have summer baseball commitments, and we will work to create schedules that fit those responsibilities. While we hope to provide small stipends, funding has not yet been confirmed.

Thank you for your interest in the BUBA Summer Leadership Internship Program. This application is for high school students interested in gaining meaningful summer experience in youth sports, leadership, and nonprofit programming. Please complete all questions thoughtfully.

Baltimore baseball. Baltimore mentorship. Baltimore resilience.

While Baltimore City College was temporarily relocated during the renovation of its historic campus, the City College baseball team also lost consistent access to its home field and practice space.

That’s where BUBA stepped in.

This season, BUBA opened its doors each week to provide free indoor training space for the Knights to continue developing as a team. But something special happened in the process.

The City College players didn’t just train at BUBA — they became mentors. During workouts, they welcomed younger BUBA Scholar-Athletes onto the field, included them in drills, encouraged them, and led by example.

Think about that for a second.

A displaced public school baseball team, practicing inside a nonprofit training facility, opening up their workouts to mentor the next generation of Baltimore baseball players.

Honestly, we’re not sure something like this has ever happened before in America.

And now… they are champions.

Congratulations to the City College Baseball team on their second consecutive Baltimore City Championship! 🏆

The Knights defeated Poly 4-2 under the lights at Babb Field on the campus of Johns Hopkins University.

We are proud of this team, proud of these young men, and proud of what this partnership represented for Baltimore youth baseball.

This is bigger than baseball. ❤️⚾

We’re incredibly proud to share that Baltimore Urban Baseball Association (BUBA) has been selected as a grantee in the LISC x Foot Locker Foundation Community Empowerment Program.

LISC and the Foot Locker Foundation announced they’re deploying $1.26M in grants to 20 community organizations across 11 cities, bringing their total investment to $6.4M over five years—and we’re honored that Baltimore is included in this group of organizations doing the day-to-day work of building stronger, healthier futures for young people.

At BUBA, we see firsthand what happens when a young person has a safe place to go, consistent mentors, and a community that believes in them. Baseball and softball are the hook—but what we’re really building is confidence, discipline, leadership, accountability, and opportunity.

This grant will help us continue expanding access for youth and families who need it most—supporting programming that strengthens health outcomes, educational pathways, and long-term economic mobility right here in Baltimore.

Thank you to and the for investing in local leaders and choosing to stand behind community-based solutions. And thank you to every family, coach, mentor, donor, and volunteer who makes BUBA what it is. This recognition is a win for our kids and our city.

LISC and the Foot Locker Foundation are thrilled to continue our commitment to investing in youth programs. Now in the fifth year of the Community Empowerment Program, we're deploying $1.26M in grants to 20 community organizations across 11 cities. This latest round of grants brings our total investment to $6.4M over five years.

These local partners are strengthening health outcomes, expanding educational opportunities, and improving the economic outlook for youth every day. We're proud to support their work and the brighter futures they're helping build.
