Holly Area Youth Assistance

Strengthening Youth and Families through Community Involvement

What is HAYA

Holly Area Youth Assistance is a community-based prevention organization developed by volunteers who live and/or work in the greater Holly Area School District community. HAYA is cosponsored by Holly Area Schools, the Townships of Groveland, Holly, Rose and Springfield as well as Oakland County Circuit Court - Family Division. Additional funding is obtained through grant and local fund-raising efforts.

The Holly Area Youth Assistance contact email address has changed with the new year, as part of an effort to streamline our communications and improve our community youth services.

Starting in 2026, please direct all your correspondence, inquiries, and document submissions to office@hollyareaya.com.

For your convenience, our phone number and all other contact details remain unchanged.

Please feel free to reach out if you experience any issues or have questions regarding this transition.

Thank you for your attention to this update.

We look forward to continuing our successful relationship.

Casework Services

Holly Area Youth Assistance provides low cost, confidential, short-term, family-centered counseling and referral service for local young people (under the age of 18) and their families. The focus is on the whole family and not just the incident that brings the family to Youth Assistance. Like other HAYA services, casework services aspire to reduce the incidence of delinquency, abuse and neglect through volunteer involvement.
