New York Community Youth Academy

New York Community Youth Academy empowers neurodivergent children and their families through inclusive programs, advocacy, and support, ensuring they have the resources needed to thrive in their communities.

Help Us Build Opportunities That Meet Children and Families Where They AreNew York Youth Academy (NYYA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating inclusive programs, resources, and opportunities that help children and young people build skills, confidence, independence, and meaningful connections within their communities. We believe support should extend beyond a single program, classroom, or stage of life. NYYA is building a growing network of programs designed to respond to the real needs of youth and families&mdash;from childhood through the transition to adulthood. Our work includes specialized youth programming, family support and navigation, advocacy, enrichment and life-skills opportunities, mentorship, community engagement, and the development of pathways toward greater independence, postsecondary opportunities, and meaningful employment. One of NYYA&rsquo;s programs is New York Community Youth Academy (NYCYA), an OCFS-licensed after-school program launching in Ossining in September 2026. NYCYA is designed to provide autistic children with a supportive, structured environment focused on social connection, sensory and emotional regulation, enrichment, life skills, independence, self-advocacy, and individualized support. Beyond after-school programming, NYYA aims to help families better understand and navigate complex systems and connect with appropriate resources and services. As the organization grows, we intend to develop additional programs and partnerships that address unmet needs across childhood, adolescence, transition to adulthood, and community life. Your donation helps build the foundation that makes all of this possible.Contributions can support youth and family programming, staffing and operations, scholarships and financial assistance, educational and sensory materials, enrichment activities, family support and navigation, advocacy, community outreach, organizational capacity, and the development of new programs and partnerships. Every gift helps NYYA expand opportunities for children, young people, and families. Together, we can build programs, strengthen families, and create pathways to possibility.
