DYCD Connect is the first major upgrade to Department of Youth and Community Development’s information technology system in 20 years and is an essential component of DYCD's vision for better integrating the programming supported by the agency. The system creates a single point of entry for DYCD staff, community-based organizations, and technical assistance providers to: track participants across programs; capture and track program evaluation and monitoring; and enable grantees to request capacity building support. DYCD Connect will streamline program administration by combining multiple reporting databases into one and create a data set that will offer increased ability to analyze program impacts by both grantees and DYCD.
