Cincinnati Youth Collaborative meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

CYC’s programs and services attempt to reduce the rising failure and dropout rates in the Cincinnati Public Schools and to help every youth in Cincinnati realize his or her potential. CYC collaborates with local school-based and community programs. The College Access Program helps students think about college as early as middle school and assists students in their preparation through school graduation in order to successfully enroll in college. The Mentoring Program matches positive, caring adults with students (grades 2 to 12) to help them stay in school, improve their self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, and increase their chances of attending post-secondary education or obtaining employment. The School-Community Alliances Program develops relationships between the Cincinnati business community and the Cincinnati Public and Parochial Schools. Community organizations are matched with city schools to provide one-on-one mentoring to opportunities for student internships to sponsoring school field trips.
