COLLABORATION

Collaboration is at the heart of our After School Program. By partnering with esteemed organizations like Venture Outdoors, Soccer Shots, Small Bites, Girl Scouts of Western PA, Assemble PGH, and E Sports, we provide students with diverse, interest-driven programs that foster personal growth and skill development. These strategic partnerships ensure that every child has access to enriching experiences that go beyond traditional academics, preparing them for success both inside and outside the classroom. Our commitment to these partnerships strengthens our mission and enhances the value we offer to our community, making MYDC a leading hub for youth development.

INNOVATION

We recognize the vital role innovation plays in shaping the future of our students. Our After School Program is designed to integrate modern technology and make it accessible to every child. By incorporating cutting-edge tools and resources, we empower students to explore and develop skills in areas like AI, robotics, and engineering. We are actively working to expand our offerings with specialized electives that encourage creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. Through these efforts, we aim to foster a generation of innovators equipped for the challenges of tomorrow.

LEADERSHIP

We believe that every child has the potential to lead. Our After School Program is designed to nurture this potential by providing students with opportunities to develop essential leadership skills. Through team-based activities, decision-making challenges, and hands-on projects, we encourage children to take initiative, communicate effectively, and build confidence. By fostering a supportive environment where students can explore their strengths and work collaboratively, we empower them to step into leadership roles both within the program and in their broader communities. At MYDC, we are committed to guiding the next generation of leaders toward success.
