Winton Place Youth Center

 WPYC’s mission is to enable neighborhood children to make positive contributions to its larger community – now and as adults. WPYC uses a holistic approach to youth development to fulfill its mission. A well-established infrastructure allows WPYC to serve as a microcosm of the larger community, where social norms are modeled and taught. WPYC provides a physically safe and emotionally secure environment that encourages students to develop attitudes and competencies that significantly reduce their risk of involvement in detrimental behaviors, such as bullying, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, gang membership, crime and violence.
