UAY offers an incredible array of stimulating programs to over 2,600 people annually, serving young people and parents.
At a time when youth look to their friends to define themselves, UAY is a safe place where young people from all walks of life can be silly, thoughtful, outrageous, or sad. They can try new things, make friends, explore their talents, share their skills, and start defining the adult that each will become. They can partner with caring adults, who encourage, teach, and give honest feedback.
UAY also opens the doors to parents at a challenging time in their child’s development. Parents can come to us worried about what their teens are doing with their free time, or with concerns about the problems of other teenagers in their child’s school. Our promise to parents is that UAY will offer stimulating activities in an alcohol, drug, and tobacco-free environment. UAY will help you prepare for your child’s adolescence, help you talk about tough issues, and support you when things go wrong.
