MyCom is a network of people who believe youth development is a direct path to healthy, safe communities for everyone. We build strengths in young people and their neighborhoods by connecting existing programs and resources, and funding opportunities for positive growth. We also encourage all sectors of society to take responsibility for children’s development and transition into productive adulthood.   

MyCom’s Areas of Focus:

Advocacy: MyCom advocates for the needs of children and youth through community education and policy work.

Out-of-School Time: A youth should have more options for good ways to spend their time when they are not in school than harmful ways.

Neighborhoods: MyCom works to bolster what neighborhoods do well and to fill in gaps.

Youth Engagement: Real change affecting the lives of kids and teens cannot happen without leadership from youth.

Youth Employment: The right experience and career exposure today can lead to a successful, productive adulthood.
