Funding youth programming and opportunities for children from kindergarten to high-school graduation is a smart way for communities to save money while investing in their neighborhood’s future.

In crime prevention costs alone, an after-school program, like the ones MyCom expands and develops, can save taxpayers and crime victims an average of $16,428 in crime costs for every youth served. (Source: Fight Crime: Invest in Kids)
