Comprehensive Youth Development

Comprehensive Youth Development (CYD) is a nonprofit that partners with NYC public high schools to prepare young adults, ages 14 - 24, to secure a successful future for themselves and their families. Through this partnership, our students develop the capability to graduate from high school and make informed decisions on higher education and careers.

We provide our services through a network of four partner sites: Manhattan Comprehensive Night & Day High School, The High School for Health Professions and Human Services, City-As-School High School, and the CYD Career Academy at Borough of Manhattan Community College.
