Our mission is to unlock the inherent potential of every young person, while empowering them to thrive.

Never wavering. Always here.

MYC is a steadfast resource for area teens and adults. We never waver and we are always here.

That dedication makes all the difference to teens like Bella, knowing that she can come to receive homework help, have something fun to do afterschool until mom gets out of work, a friend to lean on when life throws a curveball, and a community family to eat dinner with every night.

Creating an unwavering support system for Bella and every teen, young adult, or caregiver who steps through the door is central to our mission to unlock the inherent potential of every young person, empowering them to thrive. Yet, we can’t do this without your help.

Volunteers Make a Difference

“As a student with dyslexia, I’ve always struggled with math. Working with Will has not only helped my math grade but has also taught me that asking for help is ok. He knows that math is hard for me, and he always finds a way to slip a joke in or make things more enjoyable.”…
