Empowering Youth Through Social-Emotional Growth

About CYED
Center for Youth Emotional Development, Inc. (CYED) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering social-emotional growth in children and youth. Through partnerships with schools and community organizations, CYED helps young people strengthen emotional regulation, communication, relationship-building, self-awareness, and other skills that support academic, social, and personal growth.
We believe young people thrive when they feel safe, supported, connected, and understood. Our relationship-centered approach creates opportunities for youth to build practical skills, develop confidence, strengthen healthy relationships, and navigate challenges in positive ways.
CYED provides universal, small-group, and individualized support centered on each young person’s strengths, goals, and needs. Our aim is to support the whole young person while helping build stronger, healthier school and community environments.
