Fall Program Updates

Now that schools are back in session, we are excited to begin our fall programs with some exciting enhancements in store for the 2026-2027 academic year. Our partnership with the Chester Upland School District will continue, providing free after-school programs at each of the public elementary schools. If you have a child who attends another school, please contact info@youthdevunited.org to learn more about program options. We expect programming to begin the week of October 19th.

We will also be returning to Lighthouse Hall in Eddystone for programming each Monday, Wednesday, Friday. This program will begin the week of September 21st.

What was formerly known as Sports Saturdays will now be the Saturday Success Program. What has changed? Now, in addition to recreational activities and games held at locations throughout the community, we will provide seminars for participants, parents, and guardians at each event. Topics will include: STEM learning, financial literacy, nutrition education, and others. Tentative dates are:

Saturday, October 3 (Taylor Arboretum, 12-3pm)

Saturday, October 24 (Location TBD)
