About the Chicago Youth Centers

Chicago Youth Centers (CYC) is Chicago's largest independent, locally based, multi-site youth services organization. Two visionaries, Chicago businessmen Elliott Donnelley and Sidney Epstein, who wanted young people living in poverty to have an alternative to the streets, founded it in 1956.

Today, CYC offers services to children and youth ages 3 - 19 in seven neighborhoods (Bridgeport, Grand Boulevard/Bronzeville, Humboldt Park, North Lawndale, South Shore, Riverdale/Altgeld and Roseland) through eight community centers and at CYC-Camp Rosenthal in Dowagiac, Michigan.
