Born in the memory of Brandon D. Cross, E.Y.C. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to offer our at-risk youth community with the resources and guidance to nurture their artistic or entrepreneurial aptitudes. We offer a great variety of practical and hands-on workshops on creative arts ranging from photography to fashion modeling, broadcast media and audio engineering to name a few. As we have a non-violence agenda, our goal is to provide knowledge and skills that will open alternative career paths and futures for teens and young adults, who might not have access to such options otherwise. If you feel the same way we do, please don’t hesitate to donate and help supply our teens with tools for a better future.

We are so grateful to receive a generous donation of $5,000.00 to help fund our youth education in creative arts program, from Stan Wilkerson, President of D.E.F.Y. Program! 

Special thanks to UAW Local 3000 and President Steve Gonzales for all the support towards our Summer Youth Programs!
