Thankful for CYC Staff

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we want to share a special moment of gratitude for CYC Staff. Our team spends five days a week, 48 weeks a year in programming, providing holistic support for CYC children, families, and communities. Outside of program time, team members are diligently planning lessons, coordinating partnerships, investing time in professional development, and working behind the scenes to empower success! Mentors like those at CYC lay the foundation for confidence, skill building, and academic excitement.  

Most notably, CYC Staff members build meaningful, lasting connections. Many of which last for lifetimes and carry on through generations. At almost every CYC location, there are parents who are also program alumni! The main reason they, and most parents, continue to come back to our Centers? The care, compassion, and support of the staff.  

Below, CYC parents and children have shared their thoughts with us on the impact of CYC Staff in their lives!  

To our incredible CYC staff—thank you for everything you do at every Center and location. These are just a few of the many amazing things we hear from families and children. You all are the reason our organization is full of possibilities for every child, family member, and neighbor who walks through our doors.
