Mission
Statement
AYS
enriches the learning and well-being of children in a safe, caring and fun environment
outside of the school day. History
 AYS
(formerly At-Your-School Child Services) began with the vision of three concerned
mothers who realized that working families often could not be with their children
during the critical hours before and after school. The first after-school program
began in 1980 at Indianapolis Public School #70 with fewer than 10 children. AYS
has since emerged from that grassroots movement into a dynamic human services
agency providing care for 1,500 children in 45 programs. Children in the programs
reflect the demographics of the community. All economic levels are represented,
including children who currently receive financial assistance from AYS or government
vouchers.
