February News/Events Tuesday, February 14 AYS Turns 40! Forty years ago, on February 14, 1972, Associated Youth Services (AYS) began serving the youth of Kansas as a public not-for-profit organization. AYS' predecessor, the Mennonite Children's Home, began as an orphanage to shelter and care for children in the early 1900s. Committed to serving youth, the agency evolved from an orphanage to a collection of services better designed to help today's youth cope with their surroundings. Over the past four decades, AYS has impacted the lives of thousands of youth. We continue to be amazed at what our youth have accomplished. They continue to prove that it is not too late to break the cycles of poverty, crime and abuse. Their lives are the inspiration that keeps us committed to our mission.We will be sharing stories and photos throughout the year and will announce celebrations in the near future!
When facing difficult decisions or making life-altering changes, it helps youth to know they are not alone. When you become part of the AYS support network for youth, you help them learn to make good choices and realize their greatness. And you let them know that they are not alone. | READ MORE
