What is a Youth Service Center?
Youth Services Centers were established in 1990 as part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). The ultimate goal of the centers is to assist students with removing barriers that can negatively affect a student’s success.
By having Youth Service Centers in our public schools, students and their families can access a variety of services and resources and participate in programs to increase their education in various areas to help break down barriers to student success.
Youth Service Centers work hard to develop community partnerships to assist and link students and their families with obtaining necessary resources to meet their specific needs.
Core Components:
- Family / Crisis / Mental Health Referrals
- Substance Abuse Education & Counseling
- Summer / Part-time Job Development
- Referrals to Health & Social Services
- Educational Support
- Basic Needs
