MyCom: Connecting Greater Cleveland’s Youth To Their Communities and Their Future

The MyCom network connects Greater Cleveland’s young people with high-quality neighborhood-based programs and services that provide engaging, educational and affordable opportunities in a safe and supportive environment – helping them to grow, thrive and reach their true potential.  My Commitment, My Community…That is MyCom.

Vision:  By inspiring and preparing young people in Greater Cleveland to reach their potential and contribute to their community, MyCom is a key success factor in their lives. 

Mission:  MyCom is a network of caring adults that connect Greater Cleveland’s youth to quality programs in their neighborhoods and beyond so that they can develop 21st Century skills and maximize their talents to connect, navigate and be productive.

Principles:  MyCom is guided by a set of principles we believe are an integral part of a comprehensive youth development framework:

  • A youth voice must be incorporated into all levels of MyCom

  • Ensuring every youth is guided by a caring adult

  • Connecting youth to positive opportunities for growth

  • Evaluating our work and investing in strategies that are successful

  • Transparency in our work

Over the past year, four community meetings were held to develop a new Youth Plan for the Tri-City area.  Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 30 at the Parma Library, Conference Room A, on Powers Blvd. from 5:30-7:00 pm.  This meeting is open to all community members who are interested in youth development.  Please join us! 

A Youth Council meeting was held on Thursday, June 16 at the Parma Library.   Items on the agenda were:  service opportunities, youth employment, and more!  All youth in the Tri-City area are welcome to attend.  Please contact Jean Micklewright at jean.micklewright@ohioguidestone.org or Kathleen Hall at kathleen.hall@ohioguidestone.org  for the date, time and location of the next meeting.
