CYD’s students graduate from high school ready to succeed in college, training programs, and employment, because of the intensive and individualized college and career services CYD provides. We also help students address barriers that can stand in the way of success with counseling, medical and housing referrals, and connections to pro bono attorneys.
CYD doesn’t just prepare students for what’s next — we expand what they believe is possible.
Your support goes directly to these services for more than 2,500 underserved young people in NYC public schools.
