Haitian Youth and Community Center of Florida, Inc

Since 2002, Haitian Youth has provided Early Childhood services for children and families including those with disabilities and community service learning. We also provide information and referral, advocacy services, legal referral. We address many concerns such as education and employment, equal access and community placement.

Our mission is to strengthen and enhance Haitian Americans individuals, as well as their family in South Florida by providing opportunities for Haitian Americans to engage in charitable, educational, recreational and community activities.

HYCCF also provides youth and adult services: Literacy classes to parents, Computer Classes, Enrichment Programs, Parenting Classes, Staff Development Trainings, and Counseling Services.

HYCCF provides enrichment services to children and their families, while providing an opportunity for the children to learn various cultures. We also invite individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in the center's programs and activities.

The program staff is culturally diverse, representing many different nationalities. In every classroom we have a staff or volunteer who speaks the native language of the children.

Our familiarity with the Haitian culture, our physical presence in the community, and the quality of the services have provided HYCCF with the credibility required to engage and retain families in the programs and services offered by the center. HYCCF has been able to enhance its capacity to provide services through collaborations with other community agencies.
