Youth Design Center is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit focused on expanding diversity in design and technology professions while addressing cyclical poverty and unemployment among youth. Its mission centers on creating pathways for young people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to pursue careers in design and tech, with a view to meaningful, lasting opportunity rather than short-term training. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and collaborates with partners to deliver programs and initiatives that support youth development, skill-building, and pathways to employment in creative fields. Founded and operating in New York, Youth Design Center has pursued initiatives such as establishing community-oriented facilities and partnerships to broaden access to design and technology opportunities for local youth. A recent development includes launching The Corner, a coworking and maker facility in Brownsville, reflecting the organization's expansion of community spaces to support youth-led creative work. The Center has been recognized within its community for its contributions to youth-led, Brooklyn-based programming over more than a decade.
