LOST BOYZ, INC.

The organization was founded in 2009 by LaVonte Stewart, an area resident, who felt a call to action after witnessing antisocial behavioral patterns increasingly impact local youth. Having experienced firsthand the profound impact baseball can have on a child’s development, LaVonte rallied the community around organized youth baseball. In 2014, Lost Boyz also observed this persistent pattern affecting young ladies. There we extended our service to include girls. Our programs include both girls and boys.
‍
Our mission is to provide sports-based youth development to help boys and girls in Chicago’s under-resourced neighborhoods develop confidence, resilience, and life skills.

At Lost Boyz, we provide instruction, training, and the competition of organized baseball and softball to youths who are not as likely exposed to the game and its many disciplines. We use this platform to influence and impact their lives, resulting in character development, positive output, and good decision-making.
