Since 1976 ACYR has focused on developing our greatest natural resources…youth. Over the years we have grown and evolved into offering academic, vocational, and employment programs that help individuals discover their potential. ACYR helps build pathways to success through education, skill building and employment. Committed to developing the next generation of workers, ACYR offers an array of high quality programs and incorporates three priorities in our service delivery. First, a caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable staff. Second, a menu of options designed to ensure success – continuing education choices, work-based learning, leadership development, linkages to employers, and on-going, sustained support. Third, ACYR uses research-based youth development principles and practices to impart meaning and relevance in all programming. We operate mission driven programs that build pathways to success through education, skill building and employment. As a result, ACYR graduates transition into meaningful roles within the community: 91% successfully complete or continue their program 66% who participate in employment skills training, gain employment upon completion 81% gain a diploma or GED and/or complete a degree or certification 75% not continuing services gain employment or enter post-secondary education ACYR succeeds in meeting its goal of creating a skilled, educated, purpose-driven workforce!
