About Media & Press Releases

The African American Youth Harvest Foundation (AAYHF) is committed to keeping our community, partners, families, supporters, and media representatives informed about the ongoing work, impact, and growth of our organization. Through our Media & Press Releases page, visitors can explore the latest AAYHF news, community announcements, program highlights, press coverage, event updates, and impact stories that reflect our mission to serve African American and low-income youth and families throughout Austin, Manor, Travis County, and the greater Central Texas region.

Since 2006, AAYHF has worked to strengthen children, youth, adults, and families through hands-on, community-based programs designed to meet real needs and create long-term change. Our media updates help tell the story of how this work continues to grow through youth development, mentoring, education, workforce readiness, trauma-informed care, family stabilization, food access, community partnerships, and wraparound support services. Each article, press release, feature story, and media mention serves as a record of the meaningful work taking place across our programs and the lives being impacted through service, collaboration, and community investment.

AAYHF’s media coverage also highlights the importance of accessible resources for families facing challenges related to trauma, poverty, education gaps, workforce barriers, food insecurity, and limited access to supportive services. Our organization believes that lasting transformation happens when youth and families are connected to the right people, programs, tools, and opportunities at the right time. Through initiatives focused on healing, stabilization, education, leadership development, career pathways, community engagement, and family support, AAYHF continues to serve as a trusted resource for individuals and families seeking hope, guidance, and practical assistance.

The stories featured on this page provide a closer look at the programs, events, and partnerships that help define the African American Youth Harvest Foundation.

Our media page is designed to make it easier for parents, students, donors, volunteers, community leaders, schools, businesses, public agencies, and news outlets to stay connected to the work being done in Austin, Manor, and surrounding communities.
