	Out of School Time Skate Day 2006 Mayor Bloomberg, Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Jeanne Mullgrav (right), The Pond at Bryant Park’s Itai Shoffman (far right) and New York City Sports Commissioner Ken Podziba (left) look on as Citibank's Denise Durham-Williams welcomes more than 350 participants in New York City’s Out-of-School Time (OST) initiative to The Pond at Bryant Park for Skate Day. Now in its second year, Skate Day is a reminder that OST - a three-year, $200 million initiative - operates after school, throughout the summer, and during school holidays, including the winter break. Thanks to OST, tens of thousands of working parents can go to work knowing that their children are engaged in exciting academic, recreational, and cultural activities. OST consists of 550 free programs that will serve at least 65,000 young people during the 2006 school year, making it the nation’s largest municipally funded after school initiative. The programs are located in schools, community centers, and public housing and parks department facilities across the City.

	DYCD Turns Ten DYCD celebrates and recognizes the 10th Anniversary of the merger between the Department of Youth Services and the Community Development Agency. DYCD has a solid history; a strong future; and is supportive of the youth, families, and communities it serves. In October 1996, legislation merged the Department of Youth (formed in 1949 as the local youth bureau) with the Community Development Agency (formed as a result of the 1965 War on Poverty as New York City’s Community Action Agency). Both organizations had provided services, through the administration of contracts, to many of the same youth and low-income residents. The consolidation created a more efficient and streamlined Agency. Subsequently, during the summer of 2003, youth workforce development and employment programs were relocated to DYCD.
