About Us

About Mishawaka Youth Cheer

At Mishawaka Youth Cheer (MYC), we believe every child deserves the opportunity to build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories through cheerleading.

We are a 501c3 nonprofit youth cheer organization proudly serving children and families throughout Mishawaka and the surrounding communities. Our mission is to provide a positive, safe, and affordable cheerleading experience where athletes can grow both on and off the field. While we love teaching cheers, stunts, and game-day spirit, our greatest goal is helping young athletes develop confidence, leadership, teamwork, discipline, and respect.

At MYC, we know that cheer is about much more than performances and sidelines—it's about creating a place where every child feels welcome, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Making Cheer Accessible

We believe finances should never stand in the way of a child participating in youth sports. Through our Cheer Access Fund, fundraising efforts, generous sponsors, and community donations, we work to reduce financial barriers and help make cheerleading possible for as many families as funding allows.

Our commitment is to ensure every child has the opportunity to experience the friendships, confidence, and life lessons that come with being part of a team.

Giving Back to Our Community

Serving our community is one of our core values.

Thanks to the incredible support of our families, volunteers, sponsors, and local businesses, MYC has been able to give back to organizations making a difference in our community. We are proud to have supported local nonprofits such as the Mishawaka Food Pantry, Fig Leaf Boutique, Hotels4Now, and others through fundraising and community outreach initiatives.

When you support Mishawaka Youth Cheer, you're not only investing in our athletes—you're also helping strengthen our community.

Powered by Volunteers

Mishawaka Youth Cheer is made possible by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time, energy, and talents to our program. From our board members and coaches to team parents and event volunteers, every person plays an important role in creating a successful season for our athletes.

We are incredibly grateful for everyone who helps make MYC feel like family.
