Our Mission

Empowering Youth Lives

At Good Seed CDC, our mission is to provide compassionate 

support to TransitionalAged Youth (TAY) facing life's

toughest challenges. Since our founding in 2000, we have been dedicated to fostering a community where young people can find hope, understanding, and connection.

Through our partnership with the 'Never a Bother' campaign,

we aim to bring critical suicide prevention awareness and 

response tools to empower Transitional  Aged Youth. By leveraging the strength of empathy, shared 

experiences, and accessible resources, we work together to 

combat suicide and build a brighter

 future for every individual. Together, we create networks of care that uplift,  support, and inspire hope.
