Chicago Youth Centers invests in youth in underserved Chicago neighborhoods to help them discover and realize their full potential.

Chicago Youth Centers provides a continuum of caring for at-risk, low-income youth. CYC welcomes ages 3-18 into neighborhood-based centers and a residential country camp-oases of encouragement and support for children from neighborhoods where violence, despair and failure are the norm. At CYC facilities, children find programs that encourage their dreams, support academic success, reinforce their strengths, and help them envision a positive future.
