Connecting with our communities
The Youth Development Association is dedicated to helping young adults build confidence and make positive long-lasting relationships in their communities and with peers. With a variety of many programs and partnerships ranging in community service and youth activitie, youth are provided room to learn as well as the supports needed to succeed in life.
Youth have different likes and respond differently. That is specifically why we provide varied activities. While we encourage youth to engage in new experiences, we want them to feel good about their own choices and preferences. Only then are we able to help them build upon their character, communication skills and leadership capabilities.
The lives of residents are connected, regardless of the proximity of homes. What happens in one neighborhood affects others and what happens in a child's life affects other children's lives and families. By providing for youth, we provide for the community at large.
