The mission of TYD is to empower at-risk, inner city youth, through education, sports and character development so that they may go on to lead productive lives and create healthy families.

TYD is a first responder to the at-risk youth.

Over 16 years, TYD has helped thousands of boys and girls.

210,000 young people do not have a high school diploma.

TYD needs your help to reduce this alarming epidemic.

85% of high school dropouts are on Government assistance.

TYD mentors each child in order to set them on the right track.

50% of all high school dropouts are identified in Grade 7.

TYD provides academic help with summer camps and after school programs.

At-risk youth incur high social costs to government and community.

Child formation is so crucial in order to reduce academic failure, crime & violence in the community.

What We Do
