Archdiocesan Youth Employment Services (AYE) of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles is celebrating 60 years of service and will be holding its annual benefit dinner on Thursday, May 8th, 2025, at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood. We anticipate over 200 attendees to our event and are in need of donors to contribute to our silent auction. Our annual benefit supports ourt efforts to provide opportunities to underserved youth and adults, helping them gain critical skills. At this event we recognize and celebrate leaders and organizations that help us make a lasting impact for youth and adults striving for a better future. 

AYE's mission has been to empower youth and adults with the skills, education, and workforce resources needed to achieve self-sufficiency and build successful careers. Through dedication, passion, respect, and empathy, we create opportunities that lead to brighter futures and stronger communities. 

Our goal is to tackle critical challenges facing youth and adults, including high school dropout rates, illiteracy, crime, and unemployment. Through strong partnerships with employers, community and faith-based organizations, and local educational institutions, we expand access to resources and create pathways to success. By working together, we stregnthen communities and empower individuals to build brighter futures. 

Our communities have face numerous challenges over the years, and recent events like the Eaton Fire have only deepened the need for critical programs like AYE's. Many are currently struggling with housing instability, job loss, and financial hardship.
