Kalamazoo Youth Development Network

What is KYD Network? Kalamazoo Youth Development Network is the out-of-school time (OST) intermediary organization for Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties.

Our vision is an antiracist community where all youth thrive. Our mission is to ensure all youth have agency within a well-coordinated system that supports antiracist, high quality, and youth-driven out-of-school time (OST) programs. We work with over 60 youth-serving organizations in Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties, providing coaching, resources, and support in key areas of program quality and social and emotional development. In addition, we host community advocacy events, cohort networking events, and trainings for adults who work with youth to level up their skills.
