Description
YLC is a youth-focused educational center operated by an organization that believes, as a statement of fact, that education is the beginning of freedom and that every child, regardless of economic status, race or class, is deserving of this gift of freedom. YLC's programmatic offerings are available to K-8th grade students in our after school Resources for Learning Program and Summer Discovery Academy. In addition, we also offer programming to high school students interested in STEM careers through our networking program called Two Degrees. Our growth-mindset focused offerings include learning through play, solving, and building in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) fields, which include Video Game Design, Computer Animation, Chess, Robotics, Aeronautics, and many other areas relevant to 21st century skill advancement.We are proud to be a United Way Volunteer Center-Certified agency.
