How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
Donations made through Pick.Click.Give enable AYC's ability to provide a safe, healthy, productive after-school and summer program helping teens develop citizenship, leadership, and practical skills. AYC trains youth members to serve as clerks, bailiffs, attorneys, and judges for their peers. Your donation gives youth offenders a second chance to positively engage in the community while accepting responsibility for their actions. In 2018, over 300 youth members volunteered more than 6,000 hours in training and adjudicating misdemeanor-level cases for their peers, helping to put them on the right track in life and reducing the likelihood that they will commit another crime.
