Welcome!

The Aptos Community Youth Program (ACYP) is a community based youth program for middle and high school youth in Aptos area schools. In ACYP, we believe in the transformative power of building community among youth and we do this creatively through digital media, visual arts, community service projects, leadership development, afterschool programs, youth journalism, and fun social events. We believe all youth deserve a supportive community to act and create in the world with.

Our program operates on a flexible membership structure where youth members who join can pick out projects and experiences that are meaningful to them and create their own unique path in our program.
