Comprehensive Youth Development partners with NYC public high schools to prepare young adults, ages 14-24, to secure a successful future for themselves and their families. Through this partnership, our students develop the capability to graduate from high school and make informed decisions on higher education and careers.
In order to fulfill our mission, CYD provides a range of intensive academic and social services to a population that is almost entirely minority and low-income. We have developed a distinctive model that provides wraparound academic and social services, including intensive college and career preparation, case management support, legal and medical referrals, and postsecondary career training. We also offer a postsecondary certificate training program located at Borough of Manhattan Community College.
