Job Description
YDRC's mission is to improve the quality of Detroit-area youth-serving organizations to maximize their impact on youth and to advocate for accessible high-quality youth development opportunities. The vision of YDRC is to connect all Detroit-area youth to high-quality youth development opportunities that grow their capacities to thrive in school and life.

YDRC supports 100s of Detroit youth development providers with a holistic approach to quality, networking, advocacy, and adult learning to expand youth provider skills and capabilities. The programs of YDRC strengthen the individual and collective impact on youth by giving the youth providers the tools they need to increase program quality and produce measurable results.

Many YDRC programs are free and include:

  • Shared Data Measurement
  • Professional Development
  • Learning Communities (Acting with Data and Equity Accelerator for Youth Development)

Each program is designed to help grow and increase the positive outcomes of the Detroit area programs and the youth they serve.
