New Directions For Youth

Established in 1976, New Directions For Youth (NDY) is a comprehensive youth development agency that provides direct services and programs to youth and families. To date, NDY has provided critically needed services to more than 200,000 youth, the majority of whom come from very low-income families residing in under-served geographic areas including Van Nuys, Panorama City, North Hills, and the economic Enterprise Zone of Pacoima. Our approach is holistic: we recognize that our clients’ needs are extremely complex and we have worked to develop an array of services, including both prevention and intervention programs, to meet these diverse needs.
