Our History
In 1995, volunteers founded Comprehensive Development, Inc. (CDI) as a nonprofit to provide tutoring and college preparation to older, undercredited young people ages 17-21 at the newly founded Manhattan Comprehensive Night & Day High School. We expanded our services to The High School for Health Professions and Human Services in 2011 and City-As-School High School in 2012. In 2020 we changed our name to Comprehensive Youth Development to reflect that youth are at the center of all we do.
