As a recognized leader in youth development, the Shaker Heights Youth Center is committed to creating a thriving, supportive environment where young people are empowered to grow, lead, and succeed. We believe that youth flourish when their communities are actively engaged, informed, and united in meeting their needs.
Through the Shaker Youth Collaborative, formerly known as Shaker MyCom, we engage the broader community—families, educators, civic leaders, and local organizations—to identify and address the evolving challenges facing Shaker youth today. By fostering open dialogue and sharing critical resources, we strengthen the community’s capacity to uplift and support our young people.
Our goal is to build a strong network of youth service providers that collaborates, shares best practices, and maximizes collective impact. The Shaker Youth Leadership Council—made up of local youth—will guide this collaboration to ensure youth voices lead the way.
Together, we are cultivating a community where every young person has the support they need to reach their full potential.
