THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING!
On December 5 the community stood together for something positive that will serve the young people of Andover for ever and ever. After 17 years of hard work by the AYS and AYF, a youth center will be built and it will be a point of pride for the town. We couldn't have done it without the help of hundreds of student volunteers, 1422 patient voters (young and old), dedicated AYF members, and all of those who BELIEVEd it could happen. We are deeply thankful for all the support, encouragement, and kind words we've received along the way. It is a victory for everyone to celebrate.
I AM THE ONE CD
I AM THE ONE - is the result of an AYS trip to Kenya that brought Andover musicians, Grimis, together with the raw talent of the students at the Margaret Okari Children's School. The collaboration produced a stunning 2 CD box set that was recorded in a week, in a tent in rural Kisii, Kenya. All proceeds from the sale of the album go toward building a high school at the Margaret Okari Children's School, which educates children K-8th grade that have been orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. Please help us keep hope alive across the ocean and deep in the heart of Africa. Pick up a CD today at the AYS office!

We are fully moved into 37-39 Pearson St (right behind Depot Pizza!) and it is where you will find the AYS staff for program registration. Our phone number is the same and our mailing address is the same - just the office location has changed. Come by and check out our new digs!

The house at Pearson St is a huge opportunity for Andover Youth Services to expand it's programming. There are already a number of after school and evening activities taking place at Pearson St. There are skate board park meetings, fashion show clinics, Pulse meetings, art projects, basketball games and more taking place- and we're not even in there yet! Youth that go to Pearson St will go there to participate in a specific activity that they have signed up for.
