Program Overview

Our Programs

Community Youth Advance offers programs for students and educators throughout the school year, on the weekends, and during the summer break. Our ability to fill existing gaps—improve the academic performance of our young boys and girls, or build character and self-confidence for our mentees—relies on the support we receive from community partnerships. Over the last 12 years, we have been supporting youth from all over Prince George's County. Click the image to view our impact areas.
