Breaking Poverty in the Dominican Republic Through Baseball & Education, One Kid At a Time

Name: Empower Baseball Program Impact Statistics
Creator: Empower Baseball

Together, we will create change, by providing kids in the Dominican Republic with the resources, coaching, and education they need to succeed.

BASEBALL AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ONE KID AT A TIME

In the Dominican Republic, many children abandon school, believing baseball is their only way out of poverty. But with dropout rates in rural areas twice as high as in cities, and 98% of young players never signing a professional contract, the reality is harsh.

Without education, they are left without options, continuing the cycle of poverty.

Our Mission

Empower Baseball is more than just a program—it’s a movement to change the system from within. We’re setting the bar higher, and with your help, we can make real, lasting change in the lives of Dominican youth.

Our mission is to be part of the new generation of kids in the Dominican Republic who are educated first and trained in baseball second.

What it takes to be an Empower Baseball Kid

It’s simple- to be an Empower Baseball kid- they have to fulfill their obligation of graduating high school with a diploma. Yes, we are turning it upside down. Our kids are training with some of the best baseball talent in the US and DR. Yes, we will support them by marketing them to US Universities, US scouts and Academies. BUT, they only receive this training and support if they agree to (in writing) graduate High School with a diploma. By being an Empower Baseball kid…you are guaranteed not only support and training with uniforms and the rest, but they will also EARN a high school diploma.

Join us and be part of one of the most exciting and respected baseball programs in the DR.
