About Us

About Hancock County YAP

Building a healthy community for tomorrow by investing in the youth of today.

Hancock County Youth Assistance is a free and voluntary program that serves youth ages 3-17 and their families. We assist families who live within Hancock County and either attend public, private, charter, or a home school.

Our goal at HCYAP is to support any child/family that is going through a difficult life circumstance.

We want to give families the tools and options that will help them have continued success and know that they don’t have to go through life’s difficulties alone.

Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate.
