Our Programs

CIYDC’s mission includes providing communities with the resources and information they need to organize and mobilize individuals and groups on behalf of youth. The planning for youth success initiative is the intentional approach of CIYDC to coordinate communities across the Cayman Islands as they engage and mobilize to develop the assets of their young people. Community initiatives based on the Developmental Assets, work thoughtfully to determine how people in all spheres of life can be involved.  There are five action strategies identified by the Search Institute for transforming a community towards positive change.
