About
Addison Youth Center offers homework help, physical activity, socialization, self-esteem building activities, and crafts. The program includes an Advantage After School Program that is shaped with input from students and program partners.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, generally 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with special hours during summer, holidays, and school vacations
The Addison Youth Center serves youth in grades K–12 at two different locations. The Teen Center (A.Y.C. downstairs program for students in grades 6–12) offers a light dinner. The program’s mission is to provide a safe, nurturing and enriching environment in which it fosters the educational, emotional and social development of youth, allowing them to maximize their potential for growth and success.
The Friends of the Addison Youth Center, Inc. became incorporated in January 1999, following earlier services run by the Addison Youth Services Committee under the project AGREE Neighborhood Based Alliance initiative, which opened the Addison Youth Center in 1995. Leadership includes Executive Director Phyllis Grist; Addison Youth Center/Teen Center staff Lynette Fenner and Christal Coykendall; and A.Y.C. Littles Site Supervisor Michelle Madigan. All members of the Board live in the community, have strong ties with other community organizations, meet monthly, and oversee the operation of the program. Together with the school district, students, and program partners, the Board has developed the design for the Advantage After School Program and is committed to making it a successful program.
