Mission Statement
The mission of the Youth Services Center is to support youth and their families. The center seeks to do this by location assistance and empowerment activities so families who may be struggling can more effectively access and utilize the community based programs in the area. The center will "link" youth and their families with the appropriately needed center and/or community services.
