Organizer Center for the Advancement of Youth Development
Organizer of Barbershop Talk Retreat Funded by The Urban Child Institute and L.I.F.E.
The Center for the Advancement of Youth Development (CAYD) was developed and designed to build the capacity of youth serving organizations. We fill the gap for youth serving organizations by providing the community with staff with opportunities to access high quality training, evaluation, and technical assistance without leaving the community. Our staff has content knowledge and applied expertise in youth and families we are able to translate research into community-based interventions.
It is our mission to improve the life outcomes of youth by improving the organizations that serve them. We are housed at Univ of Memphis, a liberal arts college in Memphis, that has community engagement in its institutional mission.
