ImageThe Asian Youth Center (AYC) is a non-profit, community-based organization serving the social services needs of youth and families, with a focus on Asian immigrants. Our programs enable those we serve to adapt and contribute to a multi-cultural society.

AYC began in 1989 as a project of the United Way after its Asian Task Force found a critical lack of services for Asian youth. In the last ten years, AYC has expanded its scope to serve non-Asian youth and families as well, with culturally appropriate services in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Spanish and English.

AYC successfully opened the Youth Center in San Gabriel in 1997 and the Annex in 2003. Our combined facilities have more than 9,000 square feet of recreation areas, an indoor basketball court, computer labs, classrooms, and counseling rooms.

In 1996 the Asian Youth Center won a $500,000 At-Risk Youth Competitive Grant from the Open Space District to acquire and then develop their headquarters building, a 5,828-square-foot former warehouse at 100 Clary Avenue in the City of San Gabriel.

The Asian Youth Center is much more than bricks and mortar. Its impact on the lives of thousands of youth and their families is a direct result of AYC programming and the basis for the Achievement Award.
