Monday March 13th - Teens are invited to join the Rye Free Reading Room and the Rye Youth Council for another Activist Academy: Climate Change. This month, we're welcoming Shannon L.

Rye Youth Council provides a way for local businesses and organizations to offer employment and community service to local youth, and we make it easy for local youth to find available jobs and service opportunities.
RYC RESTORE Clinical Director Linda Tillmon, LCSW, facilitates Support Groups for parents whose kids struggle with depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Our discussions will include effective strategies to help manage your child's social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Let us know if you'd like to be informed of the next open parent support group.
RYC Restore is a short-term (3-6 months) counseling and referral service for youth ages 10-22. To learn more or seek help, send a confidential email to: Restore@ryeyouthcouncil.org
Today, we hope that you join RYC Board Member Rammy Harwood in showing Rye Youth Council your support. Whatever your WHY, your generosity helps to support the social, emotional, and mental health of our kids with programming, mental health support, and educational events in our schools. All so our children can grow up with greater self-awareness, relationship skills, self-management, social awareness, and make better and more responsible decisions.
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Watch as RYC Youth Educator teaches SEL topics to 3rd and 4th graders.
Take a look at our Solid Gold Journal to read about the honorees, view our sponsors, and read so many well-wishes and shout-outs from community members.
