About Mission Success

Founded in 2012, Mission Success is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Houston’s economically disadvantaged youth through a proven urban youth development model, "Urban Squash." Born 20 years ago at Harvard University, Urban Squash programs work throughout North America to provide students with tutoring, enrichment, mentoring, and community service to help underserved children stay in school, graduate, and matriculate to college, while at the same time improving their health and fitness. Over 2000 students have matriculated to College through Urban Squash programs like StreetSquash in Harlem New York, SquashBusters in Boston and MetroSquash in Chicago. These programs have a combined graduation rate of 98% and matriculating students have been awarded a total of $20 million in college scholarships. Mission Success is unique among the other 25 Urban Squash programs in that it has built a squash facility inside a school, giving unparalleled access to facilities for the school’s population which is 81% economically disadvantaged. The facility includes 3 international squash courts, which are the first squash courts built inside a public school in the whole of North America, and a purpose-built study room and office. The program is privately funded by individuals, trusts, and foundations. We currently serve 70 students through our flagship Scholarship program and a further 150 students through our Cadets PE Squash program.
