Who We Are

The Coalition of Youth Development Intermediaries (CYDI) is a collaborative initiative designed to strengthen and sustain the youth services sector across New York City. Formed in 2025, CYDI unites leading intermediaries and nonprofit partners to address acute crises, such as funding cuts, program censorship, staff burnout, and safety concerns, while also tackling the longer-term systemic barriers of resource scarcity, inequitable funding, and sector fragmentation. Our mission is to support, resource, connect, and equip youth-serving organizations so that young people most impacted by racial, social, and economic injustice can access choice-filled futures.

This work is powered by the following members of the Coalition of Youth Development Intermediaries:
