AYD is a Christian-based nonprofit organization that improves the academic performance and self-control of at-risk teenage boys through after-school and evening programs.

Young men, especially inner-city teens, can't change their tough circumstances. But by developing a sense of personal responsibility they can change themselves to become resilient to trouble and achieve success.

“Giving young men a spiritual edge to success” defines our work at AYD.  By helping our members develop the practical traits of a Christian philosophy, AYD produces measurable, substantial improvements in school grades and behavior. Our young men work hard to build on these improvements, and have achieved a near-perfect high school graduation rate. Many of them return to AYD as volunteers, staff, donors and board members LEARN MORE

Allegheny Youth Development's mission is to educate, equip and empower our inner-city youth to reach their God-given intellectual, social, physical and spiritual potential.
