Cleveland, OH – MyCom, a youth development network with a vision that all children and young adults in Greater Cleveland can access and engage in positive opportunities that allow then to become productive adults, has released its annual report detailing the 2023-2024 year. The report is available for download and on the MyCom website.

Morgan.
