20 Years of Advancing Asset-Building in the Cayman Islands<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Cayman Islands Youth Development Consortium is a non-government, non-profit organization, founded specifically to implement asset-building programmes for Cayman\u2019s youth.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
For 20 years, CIYDC has created partnerships and opportunities to promote the developmental assets throughout the Cayman Islands.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Mission:<\/strong> motivate all children and young people about their asset development, which encompasses the support of their peers, family, school, and community.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Vision:<\/strong> ensure that every young person has an awareness of their assets and has a drive for success in all areas.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Purpose: <\/strong>It is our belief that the proactive youth development approach of helping all young people develop their assets (strengths) is the most effective way of preventing their involvement in risky behavior.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Aims:<\/strong> We aim to provide young people in the Cayman Islands with the resources and support they need to thrive. Our approach is based on the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets Framework, which focuses on building the skills, relationships, and positive values young people need to succeed in life. By empowering young people, we can create a brighter future for our community.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
