Honoring Our Past, Celebrating Our Present, Embracing Our Future

Join us for an afternoon celebrating the journey of Another Choice Youth and Family Outreach (ACYFO) as we honor our roots, revel in our present achievements, and look ahead to a brighter future.

Since our founding in 2013 at Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, ACYFO has been a beacon of hope and empowerment for East Harlem’s youth, families, seniors, and returning citizens. This gala will pay tribute to the visionaries and community champions who paved the way while showcasing the groundbreaking programs and partnerships that define our work today.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS:

• Honoring Our Past: Presentation of awards to founding members and key community leaders who have been instrumental in shaping ACYFO’s mission.

• Celebrating Our Present: Explore ACYFO’s innovative programs, including professional development workshops, artistic literacy initiatives, and food security programs that are transforming lives in East Harlem.

• Embracing Our Future: Unveiling our vision for the ACYFO Center for Solutions and Performance Space—a groundbreaking hub for artistic expression, community empowerment, and social change.

Why Attend? This gala is more than a celebration—it’s a call to action. By attending, you’ll help us raise $2 million to renovate and launch the ACYFO Center for Solutions, featuring essential updates like elevator access, a movable stage, a music studio, and creative visual art printmaking room. Together, we’ll create a space that uplifts our community and empowers the next generation of leaders, artists, and change-makers.
