This is a great organization that has been ordained by God to make a difference in the lives of young boys to men, their parents, and the community. Everyone who joins or even just visits are instant family. My son is a member and since joining his hope for his future have become more evident and he can really see the opportunities they provide in all aspects of his life...education, social/character growth, athletics, and so much more. I am learning more as a parent. It still takes a village to help raise a child! I thank God for AEYL!! And a HUGE THANK YOU TO AEYL Leaders/Mentors for your obedience in walking into the purpose of God for you!!!
