This Saturday on Valentine’s Day, your gift gives back! 🌸

We are simply tickled pink to partner with The Aspen Floral Company and Juls Sharpley Events for a very special Valentine’s Day Flower Bar at Gorsuch Café. Every bouquet and arrangement helps support our youth and the programming they enjoy at AYC. Come celebrate community and creativity by stopping by to shop medium and large arrangements or create your own hand-tied bouquet for that special someone (or yourself! 💕). We'll see you out there!

📍 Saturday, Feb 14 | 1:30–4:30pm at Gorsuch Cafe

We value your perspective, and we want to hear what you think about the AYC.

The AYC Community Survey enables YOU a chance to shape the programming and operations for the future, and it only takes 7-8 minutes to complete.

The goal is to learn from EVERYONE — youth of all ages, active AYC members, and those who never attend, partners, parents, and MORE!

Now is the time to TELL US WHAT YOU THINK.

Fuel the next generation today.

AYC is free, open, and here for every kid who walks through our doors, from Aspen to Rifle, five days a week, all year long. We’re more than a place to go after school. We’re a space where kids discover who they are, build confidence, and find connection through mentorship, creativity, and hands-on learning.

This summer, we’re raising funds to keep that going—not just for the season, but for the year ahead.

Your donation supports the programs, staff, and supplies that make our mission possible. Every dollar helps us continue to provide a safe, supportive environment for the youth who need us most.

Donate today and help us fuel curiosity, growth, and opportunity for the next generation.
