Bronson Area Youth Program

08/08/2025

The Bronson Area Youth Program is sadly closing the doors of the Bronson Youth Center After School and Summer Programs effective immediately after 27 years of service to the Bronson Community. This decision wasn't made easily as board members we have happily worked hard all these years to seek funding and to secure quality
employees. We have had over 30 different board members and many of our current board. have served for over 20 years. We have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of students offering them a safe atmosphere for the After school and Summer Programs. Thank you to Bronson Community Schools admin and staff, The City of Bronson, Branch County United Way, Branch County Community Foundation, local businesses, service groups and countless individuals who have supported us financially and given us moral support these 27 years. We also thank our employees and volunteers. It has taken all of us to make it work for so long. Thank you.
