The Launch Pad


GYDP believes that the "Tween" period of youth development is the most crucial time in a kid's academic, social, and future professional life. “The Launch Pad” uses fun, hip music to teach kids subjects of academia and helps them decide the answer to that age old question . . . "What do you want to do when you grow up?" Using musical pedagogy to teach programs in Arts & Media, Journalism, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math), Law, Business & Finance, and Health & Nutrition, our kids get the much needed opportunity to learn of all the tools they might utilize to be successful in life!

Multi-Media Projects


Designed to utilize every skill and talent young people have, Multi-Media Projects help youth develop critical thinking skills to complete film documentaries, CD projects, and concert productions along with professional producers and musicians. These Multi-Media Projects have motivated youth and increased their ability to read, write, solve problems, and create. Our previous participants have collaborated with Grammy nominated songwriter and producer Jack Knight of "Making of the Band 4" and other notable professionals. As a result, our youth were motivated to complete "The Process", GYDP's first youth-produced CD.
