History, Mission, Vision & Values

Established in 2022, the Adult Youth & Learning Center (AYLC) is dedicated to supporting immigrant and refugee families in their pursuit of academic excellence through inclusive educational services. Founded and guided by seasoned Somali educators and community volunteers, AYLC is committed to addressing educational inequalities among African immigrant youth.

Our organization offers culturally relevant initiatives, including Somali language courses, outdoor education with a focus on environmental science, after-school programs, digital literacy training, and endeavors promoting healthy lifestyles. AYLC strives to broaden its impact, extending assistance to immigrant and refugee communities to bridge educational disparities and foster empowerment.
