Cincinnati Youth Collaborative Board Endorses Four Local Education and Children’s Services Levies

Cincinnati Youth Collaborative (CYC) believes every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and build a successful future. Strong schools and effective community services help create the conditions for that success, benefiting not only individual students, but the families, employers and communities they will shape for years to come.

That is why CYC’s Board of Directors supports the Hamilton County Children’s Services levy (Issue 10) and the following school funding measures on the November 3, 2026 ballot in districts where CYC has strong, embedded partnerships:

• Cincinnati Public Schools
• Winton Woods City Schools
• North College Hill City Schools

Through our school and community programming, we see firsthand how strong schools, caring adults and supportive services work together to help young people thrive in the classroom and in the community.

Since 1988, CYC has supported students on their pathway to success. Through our programs, we are an extension of schools’ student support systems. Together with more than 100 community and corporate partners, we provide programming that serves more than 4,500 students each year.

By voting in favor of these levies, our community has an opportunity to affirm its commitment to young people and help ensure they have the resources, opportunities and support they need to succeed. When we invest in our youth, we invest in stronger families, a more capable workforce and a more vibrant community for all.

CYC encourages voters to learn more about these measures and join us in supporting the future of our young people and the community we share.
