The Barnabas Youth Center (The BYC) is a non-profit organization devoted to the advancement of the children of our local community in addition to providing a safe and secure environment for children ageing from 13 to 19. Ultimately, our mission is to educate and equip our children with the necessary tools to be successful in today’s unpredictable society. Primarily, our key areas of focus will be to increase classroom accessibility to prepare our constituents for a postsecondary education and bring more awareness to drug abuse and teen pregnancy. Through instructional seminars, regional events, literature and social activities The BYC will work diligently to promote the education and independence to students across the region to strengthen their endeavors for a prosperous future. Our effort is to provide a new after-school and summer service, with extended opening hours, to meet the needs of parents and their children.
