Together, We can Bridge the Gap for Youth!

Because of you, thousands of young people across Washington, DC, and Maryland found safety, stability, and care when they needed it most.

This year alone, your support made it possible for youth to find housing after nights on the street, counseling when the weight of anxiety and depression felt too heavy, and job training that turned uncertainty into opportunity. You helped ensure that no young person was turned away from our doors.

Across our region, 1 in 6 youth still live in poverty, and nearly 1 in 3 struggle with mental health challenges, but thanks to you, LAYC continues to meet them with compassion, resources, and hope.

See the impact of your support in action, watch how lives were changed, hope was restored, and futures were built this summer at LAYC.
