About Community Partnership for Youth

Community Partnership for Youth (CPY) is “building a community one child at a time.” The grassroots organization was created in 1991 after the tragic death of an outstanding high school athlete during an alleged drug deal. Beginning as an all day summer program, it has now expanded to include:

¨A safe place for young people to explore and discover their potential. CPY staff endeavors to look at the “whole child.”

¨A set of Standards based on integrity and respect, to develop values and character.

¨Afterschool tutoring and enrichment program in four locations.

¨All day Intersessions (8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) during school breaks.

¨Middle school leadership, job and life skills training.

¨High school leadership, job experience and life skills training.

¨Enrichment programs that include a Visual and Performing Arts Academy, service learning projects, sports and recreation.

¨Special emphasis on learning and literacy.

¨Reading lab and/or volunteer reading program.

¨Computer lab at several sites.

¨Work experience for young people, parents and grandparents.

CPY provides consistent support in a safe environment for young people to develop boundaries and learn to build on their individual strengths.
