Harlem Jets Cheer was established to fill what we see as a void in athletic activities made available to the youth living in New York City. Specifically, our goal is to create cost-effective, enjoyable, and immersive sports experiences for girls living in the community.  Involvement in competitive sports plays an essential role in the development of our youth, with a major emphasis on academic achievement and self-esteem. 

2007 was the inaugural season of Harlem Jets Cheer, a competitive cheer program for girls ages 5-14.  Led by a group of highly motivated volunteers turned coaches, Harlem Jets Cheer will be  part of a competitive cheer program that not only helps young women become well rounded, iit also teaches healthy competition, teamwork, leadership and integrity, which translate into essential lifelong skills. The crux focus of Harlem Jets Cheer is to help the young women in the community achieve their highest potential in both academic and athletic pursuits through their participation in competitive cheerleading combined with mentoring services and academic counseling.
