Thank You For Your Generous Support of the Children at YDC
Your support positively impacts an at-risk child in Houstons Greater Fifth Ward. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, children enrolled in YDC are averaging 1.5 years in literacy gains, 6-month gains in math, and 100% of first and second-graders took steps towards becoming independent readers.
Your support is the catalyst for positive change in our community through education. Thank You!
Please get in touch with us if you would like to visit YDC, contribute, volunteer, or learn more about our academic after-school remediation program! We are looking forward to hearing from you!
