School Community Youth Collaborative
Supporting youth in Montezuma County since 1999
We are a youth-serving organization that supports connection, youth leadership, communication and community.
Youth Leadership Council is a program of School Community Youth Collaborative (SCYC) which promotes community engagement and leadership among Montezuma County youth. SCYC has partnered with YouthRoots, a national youth philanthropy organization. As part of this program, students use the experiential classroom of philanthropy to learn leadership and change-making skills. Students identify the biggest issues facing youth in Montezuma County, learn to raise funds and awareness around those issues, and grant 100% of their raised funds to organizations working to address those issues. The students realize there are many issues to address in their community and this is their way of doing it. This year’s Youth Leadership Council is now accepting grant proposals for youth services in the following funding areas: Cost of Living, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Concerns

Support Youth with Generosity
You have the chance to support after-school activities for all kids, regardless of socioeconomic background. Here at SCYC, we believe that every child deserves to explore their interests and pursue their passions, regardless of financial means.
That's why we are launching an end-of-year donation drive to sponsor an extra 10 students for free after-school activities. It costs 2,000 per student per year for access to extracurricular programs and clubs. One donation can make a difference in the lives of many.
Upcoming Events
School Community Youth Collaborative (SCYC) is committed to providing quality before and after school programming that engages and inspires the youth of our community. With a focus on a wide range of activities that include anything from chess to kayaking, we strive to give students the opportunity to explore and discover their interests and talents and enrich their learning experiences. Our team of experienced professionals provide support and guidance to our students to help them achieve success both now, and in the future. Join us and discover a world full of endless possibilities!

Without their contributions, we wouldn't be able to provide our programs and services to the many youth in our community who need them. Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us make a positive difference in the lives of so many young people!
