The Urban Youth Racing School Build A Dream Program is open to, inner-city children, ages eight through 18. Our program covers ten weeks of orientation and training, including five weeks in the classroom and five weeks at the track.

Two sessions between June and November accommodate 100 students. We select students from a pool of applicants who have completed a survey indicating their interest in motorsports. Their applications also include recommendations from school or community officials.Our program provides a balance between classroom learning and hands-on skill-building.

Through motorsports, we have an ideal vehicle for motivating, challenging and engaging students in the learning process. We expose our students to science, math, chemistry, mechanics and business. At the same time, our program instills drive, focus, determination and teamwork, giving students the confidence to become leaders and future mentors.

We provide all students with educational workbooks and journals, as well as all the gear they will need on the track. This includes a regulation racing helmet, gloves, driver or pit crew fire suit, racing shoes, neck brace, arm braces and five-point harness seat belts.

Our programs as well as all equipment, clothing and materials are free to participants. There is a waiting list for UYRS enrollment.
