American Youth Council, Inc.

Our aim is to provide high school students higher education, community service and job search tools. We have learned that when students participate in Community Service they are more likely to stay in school. And to become highly engaged in their community.​

With the advent of Covid-19 it has become even more difficult for high school students to progress toward higher education and employment goals. We offer information and programs that support those needs.

We use well-developed critical thinking methods to evaluate, plan and assess our programs. We carefully seek partners with stability, organizational excellence and heart. We never place financial gain or growth ahead of the welfare of children, and will not develop programs that require the use or co-opting of children for any reason.

Our organization has advanced capabilities in organizational development, business development, youth outreach and community organizing. The founders have developed processes and practices based in over 30 years each in business, professional sports, medical, and community environments, and at high levels of excellence. We partner with organizations of similar abilities.

We have established critical mass in business foundational practices and in program execution. We have made considerable inroads into large institutional environments such as the education system. We had hoped to be farther along in large-scale partnerships with education systems, but did not know the size of the impediments in creating engagement mechanisms in these relatively 'closed' communities.

However, since 2008, our programs have served 5,000 student athletes, with approximately 300 receiving college scholarships as a direct result of participation in our sports programs. The programs have led to the development of coaching support materials, athlete development materials and drug awareness materials.

The Holiday For Hope program has served 5000 economically disadvantaged children.

The Digital Community Service Clearinghouse reaches over 3000 young people every year with information about community service, higher education preparation and jobs for teens.
