The 78415 CYD Program is a FREE service for youth, and/or family members of eligible youth, who live or attend school in the 78415 ZIP code. It is funded by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services which was created in 1995 by the 74th Legislature to assist with crime prevention. The Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department serves as the Fiscal Agent for the grant in the 78415 ZIP code. It was established to provide communities with prevention programs for youth ages 6 to 17 with an emphasis on ages 10 to 17.
The program enhances the positive development of youth, paying special attention to empowering youth by teaching them leadership skills, providing academic support, athletic recreation, and mentoring.
The services of this program are free and participation is voluntary and not based on age or income.
Service Providers are subcontracted to support, teach, train, and empower our youth and families living in the 78415 community. Their aim is to provide services to the youth to make them productive, successful citizens. It is important that we meet the needs of our youth and families today in order to have a safe and productive community in the future.
