Creating educational, social, and

Did you know talking to children about school could help them learn? Ask open-ended questions and listen to the answers. Your curiosity and attention will make them feel important and spark their enthusiasm for learning.
Every day in the United States as many as 15 million children leave school with no place to go. And every day many of these at risk youth are involved in crimes, join gangs, or experiment with drugs, alcohol or sex.
Center for Youth Development offers a proven alternative for these children. We engage them in activities and on-going relationships that increase confidence and encourage success in all areas of their lives – at home, in school and in the community.
Our Mission:
Provide after-school, weekend and summer supervised educational programs and alternative athletic and art activities for children and youth ages 3-18 within the community of Minneapolis and Western Suburbs. Our emphasis is to facilitate “inclusive” programs that provide year-around opportunities for children from families of all income levels and ethnic backgrounds. Help kids succeed in school and life.
