| The Corning Area Youth Center (CAYC) was founded in
1986. It offers a comprehensive program designed to enhance the lives of
young people in the Corning-Painted Post School District. The CAYC is
open throughout the year. All activities and programs are FREE OF
CHARGE. Any youngster between the ages of 8 and 18 is welcome to
participate.
The Corning Area Youth Center provides a safe, well-supervised
environment where children can enjoy the company of their peers and
avoid
feelings of intimidation. The CAYC supplies good role models and
reinforces positive social behavior. All children and youth (ages 8 -
18) are welcomed into our facility where they can truly feel accepted,
regardless of their social or economic background. |
