ESTABLISHED: 1988
MISSION: Cincinnati Youth Collaborative empowers young people to succeed in education, career, and life.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY: CYC’s Mentoring programs match caring adults with students ages 4–18. Our 1-to-1 and group mentoring improves self-esteem and interpersonal relationships and encourages school attendance while cultivating post-secondary pursuits.
GEAR UP, our college and career success program, supports high school and first-year college students including test prep, financial aid application, scholarships, college visits, and career exploration.
Our work readiness program, Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates, provides employability skills and career exploration through classroom experiences, leadership development, summer work opportunities, and 12-month follow up and support services.
Resource coordination provides educational assistance, career guidance, and social-emotional support to students through an array of community centered methods.
