Mission
Our mission is to provide at risk youth in low economic communities with unconditional love, support, guidance, and foster a model of healthy behavior in a nurturing environment through services and resources that will empower youth with the knowledge to make good choices and live healthy lives.
Vision
Our vision is to be the number one advocate for at-risk youth in Northwest Houston making us the leading force in successfully helping youth acquire the values, hope, and faith necessary to fulfill their life potential.
Goal
Legacy for Change
There is something very gratifying in watching children grow up and become capable young adults. It’s almost magical how it happens given the right care, direction and nurturing over the years. This is what CLYC is all about. We work to instill in our youth a sense of confidence and potential. We want them to dream about what the future holds and grow into self-reliant young adults who possess the skills, ability and self esteem to make those dreams come true. By accomplishing this through enriching, fun and educational programs, the youth will contribute to their futures, give back to their communities, and lay the foundation for generations to come.
