Last week, 135 members of San Diego’s creative youth development community gathered at The San Diego Foundation to attend the San Diego Creative Youth Development (CYD) Summit.
The summit, sponsored by The San Diego Foundation and The Wallace Foundation, was the region’s first cross-sector convening focused on the potential for community programs, afterschool programs and workforce development to reach the community’s goals through inclusion of arts and humanities.
Keynote speakers included Denise Montgomery, co-author of The Wallace Foundation’s novel Something to Say report, and Bill Strickland, MacArthur Fellowship winner and founder of Pittsburgh’s influential Manchester Bidwell Corporation.
