Center for Urban Youth Development (CUYD)

The Center for Urban Youth Development (CUYD) provides training and resources for organizations and individuals serving the needs of urban youth. Through the development of academic programs (certificate and degree), special events, and instructional institutes, we address the critical needs of both youth and youth workers. CUYD seeks to collaborate with organizations involved in transformational work among urban youth.
