San Diego Creative Youth Development Network is a coalition of providers, youth, and partners dedicated to harnessing our collective strengths to build the field of Creative Youth Development and maximize impact on youth being served.

Implicit in Creative Youth Development (CYD) and the network is the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion by leveling the playing field of access to arts learning and disrupting systemic barriers for organizations within the nonprofit and philanthropic community.

In the fall of 2017 to strengthen CYD organizations and leaders in the San Diego region, the San Diego CYD Network was formally launched, in order to have an even greater positive impact on the lives of youth overcoming adversity.
