Youth Development Center of America (YDCA) is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization, located in the Chicago Land Area, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for youth and young adults. We offer programs directly in response to the growing number of young people that are either overlooked, falling through the cracks at school or are already entangled with the court system. We strive to teach our youth a sense of professionalism that is needed to become successful model citizens.
