Create Your Dreams

Create Your Dreams is a long-term, youth development program dedicated to nurturing the talents and dreams of students living in underserved areas of Atlanta. We provide the resources, relationships and opportunities children living below the poverty line require to reach their potential. Established as a nonprofit in 1994.

CYD AfterSchool: Our structured curriculum builds a variety of skills, values creativity and covers many topics of interest to our students. When school is out, CYD is in!

Weekend Enrichment: Fun trips to educational, cultural, and entertainment venues in Atlanta and beyond. Also offer special clubs where our students can focus on a specific interest, and summer programming. CYD is year-round!

Tutoring: One-on-one academic support for students who need extra help reaching their potential in school. Last year, volunteers provided over 500 hours of academic assistance for our students.

College Prep: Personalized preparation and guidance for our students so they can be successful in attaining a higher education and building a stable career, beginning in 9th grade. Includes our College Needs Fund that supports our students with educational expenses.
