About Us

Friends of Hudson Youth believes all our young people deserve bright futures.  We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, created to fortify and enhance the City of Hudson’s Department of Youth, a vital asset to our community that provides free after school and summer recreation and enrichment programs, primarily for families who struggle with limited resources.

We raise funds to provide ongoing support for a wide array of programs that engage girls and boys in sports, creative expression and academic enrichment, as well as workforce training opportunities. We also increase awareness of the essential services that the Hudson Youth Department uniquely provides.
