About Celestino "Tino" Ellington
Celestino was born and raised in San Francisco to immigrant parents—his mother is half Puerto Rican, Filipino from the Philippines, and his father is an Afro-Latino from Panama. In Elementary and Jr High, he attended The Discovery Center School, where he learned academic habits in a college prep environment. Participating in scholastic sports was critical to his overall personal development, which continued in high school and college. He serves as Bayview Hunters Point YMCA's Sports and Recreation Director. Although establishing a successful sports program and experiencing true impact, he felt it was time to be very intentional with his work. In the Summer of 2019, he enrolled in an MBA program at Springfield College, thus beginning the career of creating his dream organization, Urban Student-Athlete Development Academy (USADA). When he received his MBA in Non-Profit Management in December 2020, USADA was fully launched with a small facility and kids in the program.
