Agency Mission
Youth Services is devoted to the mental health, character development and physical well-being of children and families in our communities.

Agency Philosophy
All children's problems are big – no problem is small to a child.
We are here to meet the needs of the community, therefore, we are
    committed to flexible programming.
We are actively involved in the community in order to serve it well (we participate in a number of local
    organizations and sit in on several community task forces).
It takes a whole community to raise a child. We use many volunteers and are committed to cooperative
    programming with other organizations that serve the community.

Agency Goals
We strive to help youngsters realize:
They make choices that impact the quality of their lives.
They cannot always control what happens to them but they can control how they react to the problems they face.

We achieve these goals by teaching social, problem solving and decision making skills, and through building self esteem. By teaching social skills needed to fit in, and by creating a warm and friendly environment in which young people can belong and make friends, we give them skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
