Youth Development United provides children from under-served communities with extracurricular opportunities, inspiring them to excel.
Specifically, YDU provides the children and families it serves with memorable after-school and weekend opportunities that increase their access to mentorship, wellness, the arts and personal development.
Activities include career discovery, ballet, cycling, bowling, field trips, art, cooking, gardening, music, book clubs, STEM programming and interactive storytimes with Holcomb Behavioral Health that are designed to help increase positive decision-making and other valuable life skills. We also introduce sports beyond soccer, which will continue to be provided by sister organization Chester Upland Youth Soccer.
Thank you for helping to make it possible for children growing up in challenging economic circumstances to experience a range of inspiring opportunities. Please submit your programming suggestions and other comments and questions to jeannine@chesteruplandyouthsoccer.org
