The four core programs of EOYDC are
art,
education,
jobs, and
wellness. These departments are structured to encourage self-sufficiency and responsibility. Of primary concern at the EOYDC is teaching youth to embrace their cultures and to live and work responsibly and cooperatively with other communities. EOYDC offers three education programs:
After School Leadership Academy,
Pathway to College and Career, and
Education Empowerment. The
After School Leadership Academy is an after school program for students in kindergarten to 8th grade. The program provides homework help, tutoring, and enrichment activities.
Pathway to College and Career is a readiness program to prepare students in 9th to 12th grade for post-secondary life, with an emphasis on college persistence and completion. The program has workshops,
SAT prep, and discussion forums. From 2010 to 2016, the program had a 96% college graduation rate among alumni.
Education Empowerment is for students ages 17.5 and up who have not completed high school. The program prepares students to take the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET, previously known as the
GED). == Funding and sponsors ==
