“What began as a good idea became an eventual success,” said Millicent Williams, president and CEO of the DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation, when asking: “How would you describe the Trust over the past 10 years?”
The Trust, or CYITC, is a public-private partnership chartered by a wide array of District stakeholders, including those from youth development, philanthropic, government, and education sectors, working towards the common goal of improving the quality, quantity, and accessibility of services and opportunities for youths in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
Since its inception in June 1999, the Trust has provided grants, technical assistance, training, capacity building, and policy support to community-based organizations (CBOs) around the District and greater Washington. These CBOs offer early childhood development, workforce programs, parenting and life skills classes, charter schools, as well as a host of other services.
