HELP US UNLEASH THE TALENT IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF CREATIVE YOUTH.
YDC Celebrates 10 years!
We are celebrating 10 years of innovation, community, creativity, empowerment, and breaking barriers for youth.
The vision of one Brownsville, Brooklyn native's idea to screen-print on shirts turned into a vital organization changing the landscape of STEAM professions.
It took true intention, and a vision led with the needs of underestimated youth first, followed by the unwavering belief in our vision from supporters like you and a team of talented professionals.
Please help us see ten more years, reach ten more youth, develop ten more design cohorts—or even have ten more locations one day—by donating.
Will you donate today to help YDC thrive during this exciting moment of transition?
Your contribution will help us to:
Accommodate more youth and practice social distancing guidelines in a 3,200-square-foot maker space and innovation hub
Outfit our new space with state-of-the-art technology for young people to utilize toward growing their STEAM skills
Increase the number of annual offerings of our Creative Apprenticeship Program (CAP) serving 200+ youth per year
Donate today to help youth across NYC fulfill their potential and realize their dreams as STEAM professionals and civic leaders.
Youth Design Center is the first non-profit, youth-led creative agency and innovation hub in East Brooklyn. We are a 501(c)3 organization providing gateways for young people to learn marketable design and tech skills, access postsecondary education, achieve economic mobility, and engage in placed-based community revitalization.
