Past Projects
2023 Summer Mentorship Program
YDC launched an 8 week mentorship program for high school students in the westside of Columbus. During our program we conducted weekly meetings, and workshops where we tackled certain topics to help our students achieve their goals. At the end of the 8 weeks our students completed 50 hours of community service, professional resumes, and achieved another goal more specific to the student. Also a certificate of completion, and we celebrated with a group trip at Kings Island.
Annual Back to School Drives
At Youth Development of Columbus, our non-profit organization hosts back-to-school drives to support students in need within our community. By organizing these drives, we aim to alleviate some of the financial burdens that families face when preparing for the school year. Our goal is to provide essential school supplies, backpacks, and clothing items to children who may not have access to these resources otherwise. Through these efforts, we strive to empower students to start the school year with confidence and the necessary tools to succeed academically.
