Our Mission
Youth Development Project is to help young adults and youth achieve total self-sufficiency. Our guiding principal is to equip young adults and youth with education, job readiness, housing opportunities, and the necessary life skills to be self-reliant.
Developing Self-Reliant Young Adults
Helping our youth achieve their dreams by providing focused activities, support, and interactive learning.
Combining the very best in evidence-based mentoring with sophisticated approaches to independent group home living environments, YDP will service youth searching for a stable, intelligent, and loving community in which to call home – whether that home is for a few days or a few years.
Climbing the Wall of Success
Cedric A. Towner (Mr. YDP) founded the Indiana Young Adult and Youth Development Project (IYAYDP) in 2014 as a vehicle for empowering and caring for youth throughout Indianapolis and Central Indiana.
Today, IYAYDP expanded into Worldwide Youth Development Project, providing mentoring, counseling, and housing to youth within the states of Missouri, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana.
