Save the Date! 

We're excited to announce that our 33rd Anniversary Celebration & Awards Dinner is happening on Friday, September 23rd at the beautiful Langham Huntington, Pasadena. We will be celebrating 33 years of service in the community and honoring community partners and local leaders. 

This year’s theme of “Building Cultural Bridges: Benefiting Youth and Families” highlights AYC’s initiatives to cultivate mutual respect, solidarity, and understanding between immigrant communities within the unique cultural landscape of the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles area through linguistically and culturally competent programs and services. All proceeds will go directly to supporting AYC's mission as well as after-school and summer education for children in low-income neighborhoods.

We appreciate your continued support of our crucial work at AYC.  Please save the date for Friday, September 23rd and stay tuned for more information to come!
