Youth are the center of
our community.
For 50 years, CYC has provided the youth of our city a sense of belonging and vital tools and experiences to succeed in life.
CYC serves over 8,000 youth each year and is one of only a few agencies in San Francisco addressing the needs of a diverse population of low-income, high-need, and at-risk Asian Pacific Islander, Latinx and African American youth.
Our services include academic and college counseling, job placement and employment training, substance abuse and violence prevention education, crisis intervention and mediation, leadership development, and technology and computer training.
Together
CYC is passionate about the work we do in the community. Our latest annual report celebrates our major accomplishments and youth stories for 2019-2020. You’ll also meet some of our biggest fans and supporters who have helped make our work a reality.
Responding to Anti-Asian Violence
In response to rising violence against the API community, CYC has joined with other local organizations to provide proactive, integrated, culturally competent violence prevention and intervention services. CYC is serving as the fiscal agency for the Coalition for Community Safety and Justice (CCSJ) and, through the Coalition, provides coordinated street outreach and crisis response services.
Time To Celebrate
CYC youth, staff, and supporters gathered virtually in April 2021 to celebrate our 51st Annual Festival of Youth Gala. View the event on YouTube.
