News & Events
At A.Y.A Youth Collective, our mission is create communities, rooted in belonging, for youth experiencing instability to own their future. Throughout the year, we hold events that further this mission. If you’d like to attend or sponsor, or if you have questions about an upcoming event, contact us!

Coming Home is AYA’s annual event where we invite you to join us in serving the growing number of young people experiencing homelessness in Grand Rapids.

Clean up (or dust off) your clubs, practice your swing, and prepare to join the most fun golf outing in the entire world!

Pack a picnic, bring your favorite drinks, and gather a group of friends to celebrate all that youth have accomplished
