NFL YET Program
In 1993, the National Football League developed the Youth Education Town (YET). These “towns” are youth centers constructed in Super Bowl cities, bestowing a legacy from the game that remains long after the fans depart.
Today, there are 14 YET Centers through the country, two of which are located in Tampa. One is located in Jackson Heights area and the other is in Mort Park. The YET Centers are designed to meet the needs of underdeveloped communities by providing educational assistance, personal development training, technical training, life skills development and recreational outlets to their youth.
Since 2001, the YET Centers of Tampa Bay have played an integral role in providing alternatives for the youth in their communities by partnering with community organizations to provide programs and activities that enhance their lives.
Mort offers after-school and summer programs for children ages 6 – 15. Facilities include a multipurpose room, video game room, art room and a computer lab (30 computers). Special Interest classes are available. The park features playground apparatus, two lighted basketball courts, shaded areas, a T-Ball field and an 80 yard lighted football field.
