Mission:

Incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) in 1974, the Latin American Youth Center was founded by first-generation Latino immigrants in 1969 to address a void of culturally sensitive programs targeting an emerging Latino community in the District of Columbia. LAYC has evolved, in response to need, into a client-centered multi-cultural, multi-service center which today serves over 3,500 youth and families annually. LAYC''s vision is of a world with strong youth in strong families with strong futures. This vision feeds LAYC''s mission to support youth and families in their determination to live, work, and study with dignity, hope, and joy.
