What is Clarkston Area Youth Assistance?
Clarkston Area Youth Assistance (CAYA) is a unique, volunteer-driven, 501(c) (3) non-profit community organization committed to strengthening youth and families, as well as reducing juvenile delinquency, child neglect and child abuse through community involvement.
Volunteers work with professional staff to plan and sponsor enriching programs for young people and families in the Clarkston Community Schools district. CAYA’s programs are committed to positively impacting the long-term growth and development of all youth in the community through prevention, education, support, and celebration. The primary geographic area that CAYA serves is Clarkston, MI.
GIVING TUESDAY IS DECEMBER 2ND!
This Giving Tuesday, your generosity can go twice as far!
When you donate to Clarkston Area Youth Assistance, your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000, by the David W. Elliott Memorial Foundation-doubling your impact on local youth and families right here in our community!

Spreading Kindness, One Birthday at a Time!
Clarkston student, Olivia Abrams, is making a difference in the community in the most inspiring way-by using her Birthday to give back! Instead of gifts, Olivia asked for donations to support CAYA!
But she didn't stop there! Olivia also used her Birthday to help stock local elementary schools with snacks, ensuring kids have access to snacks when they need them.
We thank Olivia for partnering with us and sharing her generosity and kind heart!
