Youth Activities & Programs

BELONG BELIEVE ACHIEVE

At the Alfond Youth & Community Center (AYCC), we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why we offer a wide range of youth activities and programs designed to nurture physical health, emotional well-being, academic growth, and strong character.

Whether it’s through sports, arts, STEM, wellness classes, or leadership development, our programs provide safe spaces for youth to enjoy their interests, discover new talents, and build lasting friendships. From early childhood through adolescence, we’re here to support every step of their journey.

Why It Matters

Investing in youth today creates a stronger, more compassionate community tomorrow. When young people are given positive role models, a sense of belonging, and opportunities to lead, they grow into confident, capable individuals who give back to the world around them. Our programs emphasize core values like respect, responsibility, honesty, and caring – creating a foundation of lifelong success.

At the AYCC, we’re not just keeping kids busy; we’re empowering them to dream big, build character, and become the next generation of community leaders.
