Our History |
The Friends of the Addison Youth Center, Inc became incorporated in January 1999. Prior to that, services were governed by the Addison Youth Services Committee, part of the project AGREE Neighborhood Based Alliance initiative, which opened the Addison Youth Center in 1995. All members of the Board live in the community, and have strong affiliations with other community organizations.
Together with the school district, input from the students and program partners, the Board has developed the design for the Advantage After School Program and is fully committed to making it a successful program. Each member of the Board believes that the students in our district have a great need for this program, and has made a personal commitment to helping provide our students with positive, developmental activities for non-school hours. The Board meets monthly and oversees the operation of the program. |
