Our Mission

To promote resiliency and assist children, youth, families, and staff in achieving their greatest potential.

Our Vision

Individuals and families who are associated with the agency as clients or as staff members heal from trauma, feel heard, included, and safe from threat, are able to identify and build on individual and family strengths, gain independence, achieve serenity, and enhance their quality of life.

The YSB does an amazing job working with the girls and the family. They always go above and beyond what I expect!

With Help From Great People.

We Love What We Do!

The Youth Service Bureau strives to create a stable, caring, and secure environment where staff and clients can develop the necessary skills to improve personal traits, attitudes, behaviors, and relationships.  We will achieve this by respectfully communicating with youth and families, with others within the organization and those in the community we serve. Our goal is to develop personal and professional integrity though honesty and ethical practices and establish this organization as one of the leaders in advocating for youth and families.

YSB Core Values

Achieving Adolescent Potential

Improving the citizenship of our youth by focusing on our community by volunteer or other community programs.

Counseling Services

Everyone needs someone to lean on during times of trial. Our focus is to give a helping hand when people need it most. Our goal is to strengthen and create a sustainable family environment.

Community Education

Education is always the first step in learning how to be more helpful.

Advocacy For Youth

Most people can speak up for their own rights. Some youth need help promoting and defending their rights.
