CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
Season of Giving
As the year comes to a close, the Alfond Youth & Community Center invites you to join our Season of Giving – a time when our entire AYCC community comes together to lift one another up. This annual campaign strengthens the programs and experiences that help every person who walks through our doors BELONG, BELIEVE, and ACHIEVE.
Your gift supports the welcoming spaces where youth feel safe and included, the programs that help children and teens discover their strengths, and the opportunities that inspire families to grow together. It also helps us provide meaningful activities and social connections for adults and seniors who rely on the AYCC to stay active, engaged, and part of something bigger.
At the AYCC, belonging creates confidence, belief inspires hope, and achievement builds brighter futures. With your support, we can continue to nurture these outcomes for thousands of individuals each year – from the youngest learners to our most seasoned members.
When you give to the Season of Giving, you’re not just making a year-end contribution – you’re investing in a stronger, more connected community. Together, we can ensure the AYCC remains a place where everyone belongs, believes in themselves and achieves more than they ever thought possible.
General Campaign
Support the AYCC – Building Brighter Futures, Together
When you give to the AYCC, you’re investing in the wellbeing and potential of thousands of children, families, and seniors across Central Maine. Your gift supports everything we do-from after school care and youth sports to nutrition programs, swim lessons, teen leadership, wellness classes, and essential family services. Every program is designed to strengthen our community and ensure that everyone, regardless of income or background, has the opportunity to thrive.
General donations to the AYCC, allow us to stay flexible and responsive to community needs. Whether it’s funding scholarships for camp, updating facilities, or expanding access to vital health and wellness programming, your support makes a lasting difference. Together, we’re creating a stronger, healthier, and more connected community-one person, one program, and one opportunity at a time.
Unified Champion Club
Support the Unified Champion Club!
Your gift to the UCC helps create a more inclusive, empowering community for youth of all abilities.
This special program brings together adults (and now youth) with and without disabilities to learn, play, and grow – side by side. Through inclusive sports, programming, and leadership opportunities, and support for Special Olympics, the Unified Champion Club builds confidence, friendships, and a strong sense of belonging.
With your support, we can:
- Provide inclusive programming for adults and youth of all abilities
- Continue providing no-cost programming so no one is turned away
- Expand opportunities for additional learning, growth, and leadership
- Break down barriers and build a culture of unity
Whether you give once or give often, you are helping adults and youth to reach their full potential – together!
Become a Champion for Inclusion!
The Lodge
Camp Tracy has been a beloved gathering space for generations of youth & families. Now, we’re building The Lodge – a modern, year-round dining center that will become the heart of camp life. Opening in the Fall of 2025, this new facility will expand our current capacity to provide a larger, more community-like space for all our campers to enjoy meals together, further fostering growth, connection, and belonging. The space will also welcome broader community for events like weddings, conferences, retreats, and other rentals.
Your support will help us create a space where kids grow, families connect, and lifelong memories are made. Every gift-no matter the size-brings us closer to completing this exciting project. Join us in building a legacy that will serve generations to come. Learn more about the new dining space.
