In 1973, with YCI’s first grant of
$25,000 to reduce juvenile delinquency, we set out to offer the
area’s youth more opportunities to work and study. Today we serve
children and youth from age 5 through young adults age 21 and beyond.
Our participants are diverse and come from a wide variety of
socioeconomic backgrounds.
Our Youth Co-Op Charter School
(YCCS) is a Title I public school-of-choice which
teaches 525 children in grades K-8 using state-of-the-art teaching
methods and small class sizes. YCCS has been recognized by the
governor, won numerous awards, and earned an “A” rating meeting all
AYP categories since its inception.
