Established in 94, Create Your Dreams (CYD) is a long-term, youth development program dedicated to nurturing the talents and dreams of students on the Westside of Atlanta.

For over thirty years, 100% of students who complete CYD have graduated from high school, 94% enrolled in college or a post-secondary program, and 80% are still enrolled or have earned their degree!

Children join CYD in the second grade and they participate year-round after school, weekends, summers and during school breaks until they graduate high school. When school is closed, CYD is open!

Locations included in the photos: Piedmont Park, High Museum of Art, The Varsity, Roller Skating, Swimming, 96 Olympics, fishing and of course where the magic all started - William Boyd Elementary
