Community & Youth Development of DuPage County

We are an Illinois Not For Profit Corporation organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. CYD, Community & Youth Development of DuPage County, has established collaborative relationships with local government and social service agencies, churches, and other not-for-profit organizations to assist us in providing targeted services to hundreds of disadvantaged children and families each year.

CHILDREN'S FIELD TRIP Chicagoland's rich American history and cultural heritage is explored in a one-day celebration of spirit and discovery. SPRING FESTIVAL/Easter Egg Hunt The Spring Festival/Easter Egg Hunt utilizes the overarching theme of the Easter Holiday to empower youth through the joy of play to build the connection between creative activities and the development of positive values. Incorporating the Search Institute's Development Assets framework, creative games, crafts and egg hunt are utilized as vehicles to help young people practice life affirming skills. HOLIDAY TOYS FOR CHILDREN The Holiday Toys for Children Program utilizes the spirit of the Christmas holiday to engage children and youth in meaningful and creative activity that captures the joy and excitement of the holiday season. By incorporating practical and actionable activities as part of program, we seek to influence the development of the children we serve in a meaningful way.
