Nehemiah Community Development Corporation

Dane County Department of Human Services contracts with Nehemiah Community Development Corporation to provide Youth Enrichment Services (YES). YES programming provides opportunities for youth to enhance social, employment, academic, and recreational competencies. The overall intent is to build youth self-esteem so as to interrupt the cycle of failure that many disadvantaged youth are experiencing in Dane County. Programming serves youth ages 5-18 (emphasis on ages 11-18). Programming utilizes an Afrocentric-approach with an emphasis on Black history and cultural awareness.
