Hear From One Of Our CYM Youth
"CYM has made me more confident in myself and helped me become the best version of myself by giving me experiences and connections."
CONNECT. EMPOWER. ENGAGE.
City Youth Matrix partners with families to connect children to enriching programs that spark confidence, ignite curiosity, and inspire long-term success by removing the barriers of transportation, language, and access. Because every child deserves the chance to explore, grow, and realize their full potential.
CYM CONNECTS youth, EMPOWERS parents, and ENGAGES community.
It all starts with access. Join us.
What We Do
At City Youth Matrix, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow and thrive no matter their income, language, or circumstances.
We partner with families to remove barriers like transportation, cost, and access, connecting children to life-changing enrichment programs in the arts, science, sports, and more.
By supporting parents and empowering youth, we help open doors to confidence, discovery, and possibility.
