Vision
for the CYD Program
The vision for
the 77506 area is to coordinate, advocate for, and attain resources
as needed to improve community safety image and the quality of life
for children, youth and families in the North Pasadena community.
The intent is to provide a community which supports and strengthens
its youth by supporting and strengthening the family in a
collaborative effort to maximize educational and recreational
activities for the community, regardless of social class, ethnicity,
educational attainment, language preference or relationship to any
other factor commonly associated with a varying level of risk for
crime. If the youth and families are nurtured, the risk of
anti-social behavior will be reduced.

Program
Description
In 1995, the 74th Legislature approved funds for the creation and
implementation of the Community Youth Development (CYD) Program.
Communities identified as needing special attention to address the
conditions that lead to juvenile crime were identified as target
areas for youth to receive CYD services. Services are provided to
youth 17 years of age and under who reside or attend school in the
77506 ZIP code and to family members of eligible youth. There are no
income eligibility requirements to receive services, participation
is completely voluntary and all services are offered free of charge.
The CYD program is made up of a steering committee, fiscal agent,
youth advisory committee and project coordinator. Currently, six
programs make up the Pasadena 77506 CYD program.
