The Cicero Youth Commission (CYC), established in 1993, states that its mission is to provide educational and recreational opportunities for the youth of Cicero, often focusing on total family involvement. The CYC has trained members of the Character Counts Initiative, which emphasizes trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, citizenship, and caring. Town President Larry Dominick is described as a staunch supporter of the CYC. The CYC works in collaboration with Cicero School District 99, Dominican University, Military Families of Cicero United, Boys Club of Cicero, UCP Seguin, Our Lady of Charity, St. Frances of Rome, Boy Scouts of America, and Project Night Night. The organization is a five-time recipient of the Illinois Governor’s “Hometown Award” and the recipient of the Children’s Center “Hold My Hand Award.” In the “Comfy Covers” Program, fleece blankets created by student After School Program participants are donated to an orphanage in Ecuador, a hospital in Guatemala, the President’s Office for persons with disabilities, Project Night Night, and to veterans after recently serving their tour of duty for the U.S. The CYC Annual Summer Camp features weekly themes such as Science Week, Pirate Week, Hawaiian Week, Carnival Week, Olympic Week, Wacky Week, and Talent Week, with daily curriculum activities designed in accordance with each week’s theme and swimming scheduled three days per week during Summer Camp.
