Cincinnati Youth Collaborative (CYC) is on a mission to empower young people to overcome obstacles and excel in education, career and life. CYC is unique because we work directly with local school districts to identify the students who can most benefit from CYC's services, in addition to facilitating strong relationships between teachers, families, mentors and students. The breadth of services we offer ensure that each student finds the support he or she needs. Mentoring is available in the traditional one-to-one model or through group mentoring arranged through a business or volunteer community. College and career preparation is comprehensive, with CYC providing a credited course that teaches professional job skills, and college readiness advisors who offer in-depth college and career preparation. Through these various platforms, CYC connects students with a positive adult advocate who can show them how to reach their potential. *The purpose of this page is to share information of interest regarding CYC with our community, partners and the many friends, supporters and beneficiaries of our services.
