The Don Bosco Youth Development Center opens the doors of opportunity to northeast youth by creating fun and enriching experiences to help children of all ages play, learn, and achieve during out-of-school time.

Our staff consults youth, parents, and other community organizations to design programs to help youth make better choices, feel empowered, enhance leadership skills, and take ownership of their neighborhood. 

Over 700 youth ages 5-18 participate in programs each year varying from afterschool activities and special events to summer camp and youth-led projects. And, Don Bosco's involvement doesn't just end at their 18th birthday. Older youth ages 19-25 stay engaged through alumni and mentoring opportunities while enhancing life skills needed for adulthood.
