SERVICES PROGRAMS |
The Youth
Development Center seeks to offer a safe environment where children
can learn and grow while having fun. Our services focus on complementing
a child’s educational experience at school. We provide tutoring and
homework help and a variety of enrichment activities like computers,
music, arts and crafts and gym.
As youth participate in our programs they will find a place to make
lasting friendships, to relate to, and trust adults that will show them
respect, guide them in making positive choices and develop into responsible
adults. |
