CPY supports the work of Wayne County partners who bolster positive youth development.  By working collectively we will have better outcomes for our youth and more effective use our resources.  Come, connect, share and empower – for the sole purpose of making the youth in our community excel.

Formed in 2004, the Partnership’s Youth Development Plan provided a vision for enhancing positive factors in a child’s life.  CPY consists of volunteers from all areas of the county.  Business, Non-Profits and Individuals alike are stepping up to make a stand for the youth of Wayne County.

Accomplishments of this partnership to date:

• CPY efforts were featured along with Third Grade Reading Academy and Kidsfest - to win the Richmond the All American City Award for 2009.     
• Many local non-profits are already experiencing closer connections, easier networking and shared data resources as a result of CPY.
