Mission
Vision
The vision of CYM is to empower and strengthen youth in our community.  It is CYM's desire to see lives transformed through increased opportunities in the areas of leadership development, goal achievement, education, community service, vocational training, and spiritual growth.  CYM partners with many local organizations, schools and churches in ensuring that our youth are getting the best services possible.  It is CYM's goal that each child discovers their God created potential!


CYM began in 1992 as a collaborative effort of Reedley area churches, schools, businesses, and public service agencies.  A Board of Directors was established and the work began.  In 2002 CYM became a 501(c)3 organization.  Over 100 volunteers commit time and resources each year to provide vital services to youth in our community.


History
To serve the social and spiritual needs of area youth by supplementing the work of community agencies, schools, and churches so that every child and young adult will have a strong sense of value/self-worth, the knowledge and ability to make positive decisions, a strong supportive network of community relationships, the age-appropriate education and skills needed for success, and clear goals for the future.
