As it has done every summer for the past five years, Marin City Community Development Corporation (MCCDC) once again coordinated the Summer Youth Development Program (SYDP) to help young people who come from low-income neighborhoods in Marin County develop skills and obtain work experiences that will empower them to reach personal goals while simultaneously boosting the local economy. This year the program assisted 65 youths, aged 14-21, and offered them educational support and work experiences in fields that serve their professional higher purposes. Thanks to the support of the Tamalpais Adult School and of numerous businesses across Marin County, MCCDC was able to provide all of the participants a base to grow from as they work to improve their quality of life, their family life and their community.
