ASIAN YOUTH CENTER

AYC'S MISSION IS TO MEET THE EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL SERVICE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME, IMMIGRANT, AT-RISK, AND ADJUDICATED YOUTH AND FAMILIES OF ALL ETHNICITIES, WITH A SPECIAL CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE WITH ASIAN AMERICANS. BY PROVIDING CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, AYC ADDRESSES THE SOCIETAL, CULTURAL, AND LINGUISTIC BARRIERS MANY FAMILIES EXPERIENCE WHEN TRYING TO ACCESS EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL, AND HEALTH SERVICES. OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES HELP YOUTH OVERCOME BARRIERS TO SUCCESS THEY FACE AT HOME, AT SCHOOL, AND IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY LIVE, AND TO ADAPT AND CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
