    Summary

    The purpose of the Youth Service Bureaus (YSBs) Grant Program is to assist municipalities and private youth-serving organizations designated to act as agents for municipalities in establishing, maintaining or expanding such YSBs.

    Local communities began to develop YSBs in the 1960's as a response to a growing number of issues affecting youth. The role of the YSBs has been expanded to include both advocacy and coordination of a comprehensive service delivery system for youth. YSBs are organized to provide:
    • Administrative services, including an assessment of youth needs and the coordination of services for youth.
    • Direct services for youth that may include:
    • Recreational activities;
    • Individual and group counseling;
    • Parent training and family therapy;
    • Work placement and employment counseling;
    • Alternative and special educational opportunities;
    • Outreach programs;
    • Teen pregnancy services;
    • Suspension/expulsion services;
    • Diversion from juvenile justice services;
    • Preventive programs including youth pregnancy, youth suicide, violence, alcohol and drug use; and
    • Programs that develop positive youth involvement.
    • Administrative core unit functions which include:
    • General administration;
    • Research;
    • Resource development;
    • Community involvement; and
    • Youth advocacy.
