Overview
Mission
Empowering youth by providing a safe haven to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually, and by supporting success and dreams. Due to a shift in state funding, we are having to switch to a pay for service for our before and after school care. We are waiting to get 15 students on the waitlists for each location, before resuming YDC out of school time services. Please fill out the inquiry form above to get your child on the waiting list. Rise, Shine, and Go: Struggling with hectic mornings? Let YDC support your family. We are currently able to offer before school care in our Gobles School building. Please reach out with interest in other locations. With need from parents, we can work to get more locations open in the early morning hours.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 73% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
