The mission of Overtown Youth Center (OYC Miami) and Honey Shine is to inspire, empower, and enrich the lives of our youth and families through education, enrichment and exposure.

The OYC Miami program is not a traditional after school or summer program. Instead, OYC Miami is a year-round program and OYC Miami staff are committed to the long-term growth and success of our children and families with the hope to support students in preparing to become positive contributing citizens when they are adults. 

The OYC Miami program includes academic support, enrichment activities, college and career readiness sessions, health and wellness opportunities, mentoring programs (Honey Shine and Band of Brothers), leadership opportunities, civic engagement, financial literacy, recreational activities, and family support.

When joining OYC Miami, we ask for families to commit to our mission and to work with our team to work towards these goals together.

Following the submission of your online application, parents/guardians will receive a phone call from the Family Services department within 5-7 business days. In preparation of this call, parents are asked to secure their most recent student report card and copies of the child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) if applicable. 

Upon notification of acceptance into the OYC Miami Program, a $100 registration fee will be required per student for Summer Programming for both OYC Miami and Camp Honey Shine programs. **Parent Participation Incentive: For parents/caregivers that participate in at least 12 activities per year (June – May; e.g., monthly parent meetings, volunteer opportunities, OYC job training or digital skills programs, OYC parenting groups) as monitored through parent attendance records during the program year, families will be eligible for a 20% discount to re-enroll their students in programming for the following summer.
