About
For more than 50 years, Fun City Youth Academy has offered Columbia youth opportunities to learn and achieve. The Summer Academy helps students retain their academic skills over summer break, with cultural and recreational activities too. The Saturday Academy offers fun and academic activities during the school year.
Our Mission
Engage area youth and their parents in academic, cultural and recreational programs that promote academic achievement, self-respect, and social responsibility.
Statement of Inclusivity
Fun City Youth Academy is committed to creating a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive community for children and families in Columbia and Boone County. This includes teaching curriculum which supports anti-racism and social justice work. For more than 50 years, Fun City has recognized the importance of providing a safe, inclusive, and supporting environment for Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, and other minoritized communities and we will continue to pursue inclusivity.
