In today's fast paced environment the activities and happenings of our youth are often
    overlooked and the youth of Amarillo are left to find something to occupy their time.  
    This situation has resulted in many youth straying from safety and doing many unlawful
    and unjust acts.  The AAYC wants to help put an end to this by providing affordable
    structured programs that our youth and their families can participate in.
