The Willie Hutch Jones Educational and Sports Program (WHJESP) is proud to announce its Summer 2025 youth programming, continuing a legacy of providing free, high-quality educational and athletic opportunities to children across Buffalo and Lackawanna. Open to youth ages 6 to 16, this summer’s offerings include sports clinics, competitive leagues, and special events—all focused on healthy lifestyles, character development, and fun.

Now in its 41st year, WHJESP will introduce a modest $20 non-refundable registration fee per child, which grants access to all summer clinics and activities. This fee helps offset rising operational costs while preserving the accessibility that has defined the program for over four decades.
“We’ve built this program on the belief that every child—regardless of income—deserves a safe and inspiring place to grow during the summer,” said Willie Hutch Jones, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of WHJESP. “With help from our incredible sponsors and volunteers, we’ve kept that promise. This small fee ensures we can keep doing it, bigger and better, for years to come.”
Clinic and event spaces are limited, and early registration is strongly encouraged. Once capacity is reached, registration for each program will close. Registration is available online via sport-specific links at www.whjesp.org.
