I support the PYCC. Although I have recently located here from Oahu I am hoping that this will stay open so that my keiki will have the privilege to enjoy a place to learn, meet new keiki, and be active. Mahalo!!

Just want to say that the PYCC has served the community in so many ways that I want to support the continued use of the space.
It is truly unique with the ocean, skate park, kitchen, radio station and so much more. These are the future generation that will be living on the island and we need to do all we can to help create a better community
Thank you for your time

I fully support the PYCC. I grew up going there and it is a truly amazing place. There is so much good happening there, the is a huge diversity of programs and activities that the kids can do along with keeping everyone safe and helping them grow in a positive way. It is the best place for kids to go to hangout and have a good time. Please take these things into consideration,
I support PYCC as it is a safe, healthy, fun and amazing environment for kids. It encourages kids to exercise and have fun in the ocean. If it is allowed to expand it offers so much opportunities for greatness and many more things.
The PYCC is a key pillar in the Paia community. Words can’t describe how important it was for me growing up. I’ve learned so much from all of the staff members and through the programs over the years. Knowledge and values that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. The expansion of the property would open up so many new opportunities for the PYCC to teach the keiki and provide value our island as a whole.
I am in full support of any lease and future development of Paia Youth and Cultural Center. I have had the privilege of working there 25 years ago and many of those young kids are in our community and will come up to me and thank me for the times we shared. We’ve have miany great memories, haunted house, overnight slumber parties, cooking classes, beach feast just to name a few. Many of these kids now adults are having children that attend the youth center, this is a generational Community. The kids need someplace to go after school and on the weekends. Please always support the Paia Youth Center.

I am in total support of the PYCC lease renewal and expansion. it’s a great place for kids to go, be safe, learn skills, and make community connections and friends. You are able to drop off you kids and know that they are going to have a really fun day and have them be safe.PYCC is fantastic asset to the North Shore.

I am a very strong supporter of what the Paia Youth Center does for young people in our community. We all know that the teenage years are critical in providing the experiences and learning necessary for stable and functioning adults. The Paia Youth Center does an extraordinary job of teaching skills but more importantly teaches respoinsibility to others and the community. It provides the structure teenagers desperately need in these very formative years. I very strongly support the lease renewal and expansion. Kenneth Rendell, Paia
Paia Youth and Cultural Center should be granted the lease renewal and expansion. They have many times over proven themselves to be an amazing and conscientious provider of much needed youth services to Maui's North Shore community. PYCC has also been a steward of the land fronting Paia Bay for many many years, and they are very experienced in managing the area for it's best use for the benefit of both the community's youth and all users. Educating youth to protect and preserve the ocean and the land, and to serve the community, is part of their mission, and they have done and continue to do it extremely well. PYCC's current facilities are limiting their ability to serve, protect, and preserve, with both a lack of space and the impacts of erosion reaching into the facility on a regular basis. PYCC will be far better able to pursue it's goals and serve the youth and the coastal area with a grant of the lease renewal and expansion, and I very much urge you to approve this request.
I whole heartily support the proposed Lease Expansion of County Recreational Space to Paia Youth Council, Inc. PYCC has for years provided wholesome support, education and activities for our youth. A true gem on the North Shore and Maui.

I support the expansion of PYCC. They are a magnificent organization that does so much for our youth. My kids are becoming true leaders because of their program. We couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful part of our paia community.
I'm writing in support of the proposed lease extension, and land expansion request for the Paia Youth Center. This facility is an indispensable asset of the larger north shore community. As a north shore resident for 40+ years I have seen the progression of PYCC from a virtual tear down building to a vibrant,critical part of Paia. the programs they offer have been an essential component of the well being of generations of local families. From feeding hungry kids to offering many different life skill programs PYCC is unique. PYCC has always been a 'bootstrap' organization with fundraising, infrastructure improvements, and program development. The existing building cannot be improved because it lies within the flood zone. That is why the requested expansion of the lease area is critical. The lease extension is critical because the substantial fund raising campaign needed for new construction depends on a solid long term future. We need the PYCC to survive and to thrive in the future. Please show your support for our community by approving both the lease extension and the request for additional land needed to build the new youth center.

Please, Maui County, please continue to support the Paia Youth and Cultural Center in any way possible. My children grew up at the PYCC and I am so grateful for everything the center did for them and for me. The PYCC needs and deserves to be supported by Maui County and this lease approval would be an amazing addition to the center.
Thank you,

We move the honorable Maui County for a grant for a lease extension or renewal to PYCC.
PYCC is an important center supporting educational and social needs of Maui's youth.
