Lighting a spark to help kids dream big.
CYC provides a premium hang out space during the week, implements programs suggested and designed by teens, and promotes opportunities for innovative arts, educational and recreational activities. Our programming includes cooking classes, music production and engineering, movie nights, art classes, photography workshops, yoga, fitness, life skills, mindfulness, and much more.
A nurturing environment where kids can be kids.
“After School Club at the Hub” is program designed for students ages 8 and up. This weekly program is held at the Community Youth Center aka “The Hub”; a safe gathering place for the under-served community of Coraopolis.
The purpose of the after-school club is to reduce at-risk behaviors, boost academic performance and promote physical, emotional and mental wellness. We achieve this by providing a safe, nurturing environment between the hours of 3-7pm on weekdays, where students can learn, play, grow and express their uniqueness and creativity.
The focus areas of the After-school Club include: education, innovative arts and healthy living.

Become the leader you can be.
The Youth Council empowers students to take on leadership roles and make decisions on issues pertinent to them. The Council is comprised of both middle and high school-aged students from Coraopolis and surrounding communities. The role of youth council members is to be actively involved in Youth C.A.F.E. program development, planning and implementation of classes and activities.
The goals of The Youth Council are to promote learning, develop creative skills, and foster positive youth development. Interns and volunteers interested in working with middle and high-school aged students would help to oversee the Youth Council and work with the students to create new and exciting programming that reflects what is important to them and their peers.
