TO REACH A CHILDThe American Youth Council was founded to help children. To help them in as many ways as possible to receive support and encouragement from the adult participants in their lives. And to bring high level focus to problems affecting children today such as drugs, alcohol, homelessness, poverty and foster care.Since 2006, our 501 (c)(3) public charity has been a coordinating organization that develops 'touch points' where individuals, organizations, schools and companies can plug in. And to reach those children most at-risk and in need.We have developed nationally-recognized youth sports programs, the second largest Christmas party for homeless and disadvantaged children in the world, an alcohol and drug intervention program, and distribution programs of clothing, toys, diapers and books for local, national and international aid outreach programs.
