CYC was founded on the passion of community leaders who believed that every child and young adult deserves a bright future. Today, this passion is alive in more than 1,500 individual volunteers and over 70 businesses and corporate partners who create a support system for our city’s youth.

Our programs directly impact the lives of students, who go on to become productive members of Cincinnati. CYC alumni are attending local colleges and universities, working in local businesses, and volunteering in the community. Read more about our students.
