MISSION
The Patrick Youth Development Foundation mentors teenage males and young adults in our community to be future leaders and positive role models for their peers.
OUR AIMS
The Patrick Youth Development Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization with three (3) aims: 1) develop future leaders in the community, 2) excel in athletics and 3) decrease the delinquency of male teenagers. These three (3) aims will be achieved through academics, character development, experiences, community exposure, and athletics.
The concept of the organization is to mentor middle school age males, JROTC high school students, ROTC college students, and college athletes. Our organization will have multiple events throughout the year to expose the youth and young adults to leaders in the community and broaden their knowledge and experiences.
Athletics will be integrated into the program by participation in Amateur Athletic Union and participation in various sporting events for team building and life lessons. Additionally, scholarships and fund raising will be made available to students at all academic levels. Last, PYDF donates to various organizations that align with its Aims.
