A Lifetime Opportunity
Check out our new video Central Youth Development – Developing Youth and Making Bright Futures above. It showcases the Central Youth Development (CYD) program and the amazing educational opportunities we are providing to students in Seattle and Seattle Public Schools. The CYD program connected students with a once-in-a-lifetime college tour through southern Califonia.
By partnering with our friends at Y-Scholars at Garfield High School through Meredith Mathews East Madison YMCA, our CYD program was able to expand the impact of the trip and better educate youth on their futures in a university.
Summer University
Partnering with Y-Scholars and the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle the 12 students each participated in a 6-week summer course called Summer University. This course taught them the skills they need to succeed in taking the SAT, preparing for college, applying for college, and performing in college. The students showcased in the video above were grateful to have this support and education that helped them get ready for college.
