Students

Comprehensive Youth Development serves young people from 14 to 24 years old on their path to adulthood.

Our community includes students ages 17-21 seeking a second chance at our two transfer high schools, Manhattan Comprehensive Night & Day High School and City-As-School, and students in grades 9-12 at The High School for Health Professions and Human Services. Alumni ages 18-24 may take part in the CYD Career Academy at Borough of Manhattan Community College. Many of our students are new immigrants to this country; many are the first in their family to pursue higher education after high school. Some live with parents, some live on their own, some have children of their own. What they have in common is a fierce determination to create a promising future for themselves and their families.
