Why Contribute?
As a non-denominational, Christian organization, AYM is a safe place where teens can turn, and a place where they are loved with God's love. Each year we serve more than 1,300 urban teens. Our programs provide for the whole person—their spiritual needs, as well as physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs. We are truly making a difference in the lives of urban youth, but we cannot do it alone. We need your help! We welcome monthly contributions as well as one-time gifts. To make a gift, please fill out the contribution form and send it to the address on the bottom of the form.

Why contribute monthly?
Monthly giving helps to even out our financial peaks and valleys and allows us to focus more on meeting the needs of the kids than on the finances. Also, it usually allows you, the donor, to make a larger gift to AYM. You might have the capability to write a $100 check once a year to AYM, but by contributing $15 every month, you can increase your gift to AYM by 80%! If you would like us to make an automatic withdrawal from your checking account on the 18th of each month, please fill out our automatic debit form Or, if you prefer, you still have the option to write a check each month.

What kinds of in-kind gifts do we need and how can you get them to us?
With over 200 kids coming through our Drop-In Center in an average week, we go through a lot of snacks, drinks, and other supplies. You can bring your donations to the AYM office Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. at 1641 East Michigan Street. Please call 635-4151 x207 if you have questions or to make arrangements for your items to be picked up.
