I AM Youth Development Center is a 501(c)(3), public non-profit, membership based work & social space for enrolled high-school youth. This is a safe haven for virtual learning in your youths current studies while encouraging them to explore their passion in entrepreneurship, technology, business ownership and financial literacy. I AM YDC was established to bridge the gap between what youth are learning in school today and the tools they need to be the business owners and entrepreneurs in tomorrow’s world.
By becoming a member of I AM YDC your youth will have a safe, clean environment to study, learn new skills, develop current skills, socialize, and interact with leaders of the community. With membership, your youth will have access to a full snack bar, complimentary dinner served nightly at 6pm, wifi, tutorial sessions where more attention is needed as well as homework assistance, college and trade school preparation and access to community leaders through our mentorship program.
EDUCATORS
―Simon Sinek
I AM YDC is seeking Energetic and Creative Educators. If you have retired from servicing our youth within the school system or you are new in your career as an educator and want to lend I AM YDC’s youth your talents, we are excited to have you! Our commitment to inspire the youth to reach their full commitment can’t be done without YOU! Our goal is to endorse the school day learning by broadening our youths’ perception and understanding creating an environment to apply the knowledge learned.
SPEAKERS

Representation Matters. Take time to give back to the I AM YDC youth and show them that today’s entrepreneurs and business owners started with a simple want and sometimes need to make a change or solve a problem. Twice a month I AM YDC will host a local business owner or entrepreneur. We invite you to share your journey with our youth then stay for questions and conversation during a complimentary dinner.
We are a public Non-Profit 501(c)(3) company providing a service of Entrepreneurship, Business Ownership and Financial Literacy to our high school enrolled youth. Bridging the gap between what they learn in school and what they will need in the “real” world. Your donations will help us in our efforts to bridge that gap while providing a TAX WRITE OFF for you.
