What's NEW at CYD?

Empowering kids from under served communities to reach their potential since 1994.

CYD Class of 2022!

NEW DREAMERS BEGIN THEIR CYD JOURNEY

We are excited to begin our 19th academic year of programming and announce the arrival of our new 3rd grade group! Pictured above are a few of our new faces. They are all eager to learn and are filled with curiosity and boundless energy.

These students will attend CYD weekly and year-round for the next decade as we nurture their talents and dreams, along with helping to eliminate the barriers they will face along their way to reach their potential.

Sign up today to volunteer with this group. Currently, we need tutors, snack bags and birthday cakes for our newest group of dreamers! Please email Martha Henson at martha@createyourdreams.org to sign up, or for additional volunteer opportunities.
