AAYHF Expands in Manor as Mentoring & Youth Programs Return for 2026
AAYHF is expanding its presence in Manor through a new community resource hub while also launching mentoring, tutoring, STEM, and digital media programs designed to strengthen youth, families, and community.
New Manor Community Resource Hub
AAYHF is proud to announce a major expansion in Manor. In partnership with Manor ISD, the former Manor Excel Academy building is being transformed into a full-service Community Resource Hub designed to bring opportunity, stability, and wraparound support closer to where families live.
The hub will offer nearly 25 free programs, including mentoring, tutoring, workforce development, counseling, and basic-needs support, helping close a major service gap for youth and families in the Manor area.
This work builds on AAYHF’s proven East Austin model and extends its impact across the region. AAYHF also expressed appreciation to partners including Sherwin-Williams, HomeAid Austin, Taylor Morrison, C&Z Enterprise, Saul Paul, Toll Brothers, and many community volunteers for helping bring this vision to life.
