Asian Youth Center
The Asian Youth Center (AYC) is a non-profit, community-based organization serving the educational, employment, and social services needs of low-income youth and families in Los Angeles County, with a cultural and linguistic competence with Asian immigrant communities. Our programs enable those we serve to adapt and contribute to a multi-cultural society. AYC began in 1989 as a project of the United Way after its Asian Task Force found a critical lack of services for Asian youth. In the last ten years, AYC has expanded its scope to serve non-Asian youth and families as well, with culturally appropriate services in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Spanish and English.
