Organization Mission & Overview

EOYDC’s mission is to nurture the holistic development of youth from kindergarten into adulthood so that they can live a life of prosperity, integrity, and purpose. EOYDC visualizes a community of empowered youth and young adults with the character, skills, and network to positively contribute to society.

Core Programs

Our ultimate goal is to ensure young people are prepared to have meaningful, well-paid careers that leverage their talent and passion. We recognize that formal and informal education are essential to this, and that young people need exposure to diverse career paths. We also recognize that young people require a sense of safety, well-being, and support to meet their potential and that engaging in fun, stimulating activities enriches their experience. EOYDC works towards this overarching goal through a continuum of programming across the following areas: Education (kindergarten through higher education), Careers, Visual & Performing Arts, and Wellness.
