ABOUT MYDC
An enduring positive force in the community.
Manchester Youth Development Center (MYDC) is an organization dedicated to serving children and families from Manchester and other Northside communities.
Since 1968, MYDC has served as a community pillar for our children providing a safe educational, recreational and creative space for children and families on Pittsburgh’s Northside. We place immense value on our ability to provide and promote an atmosphere of positive cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. We pride ourselves on our ability to equip our youth with the foundational skills and independence to make healthy choices moving forward in life.
For over half a century, MYDC has touched the lives of more than 10,000 predominately black children and their families. We continue to serve 220 children and families annually from Pittsburgh’s Northside and well beyond with 70% of those families earning less than 200% of the poverty guideline.
