Y-COP: A Legacy of Guiding Youth
The long awaited documentary is now available
The Youth Community Outreach Program (Y-COP) was first founded in 1990 by Allen Ayers, a Detective with the Mount Vernon, NY Police Department. His goal was to foster a positive relationship with youth in the community and the police by offering positive after school activities in an effort to build trust between the two. Y-COP operated primarily as a drop-in center at a local church offering basketball, cheerleading, job skill workshops, peer-to-peer mediation, college preparation and more. Today, Y-COP is one of the most sought-after childcare and youth development organizations in Westchester County providing approximately nine impactful programs and several community-wide initiatives, serving more than 400 youth, five – 17 years old annually and their families.
