Banyan Community

Youth Services inspires young people to invest in themselves, education, and community. Youth are prepared to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood through programs that cultivate social, emotional, and educational growth. Our youth have fun while they develop into committed learners. Youth attend programs to succeed in school, build life skills, develop assets, and cultivate healthy relationships.

Community Services is an essential part of the Organization's mission and is inseparable from the strength of our families and the success of our youth. The Organization connects members of the neighborhood with each other, creating connections that encourage communication and belonging. Building trust between residents, and training leaders on every block, brings hope and safety to every home. The Organization acts as a resource hub, connecting residents with support systems and equipping them as leading citizens.

Family Services fosters hope with families by strengthening the relationship between parents and children. Our families have close bonds with staff that enable us to work together towards a brighter future. The Organization helps parents become advocates for their children in all arenas of life, while children become an inspiration to their parents. The Organization's families are future-oriented because they see and realize the new life-changing opportunities before them.
