Youth Development Program (YDP)

Support. Assist. Coach. Encourage.

NEKYS Youth Development Program (YDP) offers case management services to youth ages 15-22, who are, or have been, in the custody of the State through the Department for Children and Families (DCF).

  • Creates individualized transition plan for youth and young adults.
  • Offers one-on-one support and group meetings.
  • Connects youth and young adults to community resources.
  • Strengthens life skills development, such as decision making, money management, employment (seeking and maintaining), social skills and education support.
  • Provides financial support for youth who exited custody after age 16 or who were in custody for at least 5 years after age 10.
