“Safe, healthy, and stable places to live, learn, and work.”
NCYD believes that ALL YOUTH deserve…
“Opportunities to access high quality, affordable programming.”
“Opportunities to acquire education, training, life skills development, and to succeed in passion, progression, self-sufficiency, and goal attainment.”
“Strong, positive, stable connections to family, peers, education, supportive adults, and community.”
“Connection to other youth-serving organizations and partnerships staffed by individuals who are well-trained, knowledgeable in the field, competent, compassionate, and culturally responsive.”
“Recognition by their community for their strengths and multiple opportunities for civic engagement, service, and leadership.”
“Support throughout all phases of their development, including early and middle childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood.”
