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.

Youth Services was created as part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) and was opened at the beginning of the 1993-94 school year. The center is available to meet the needs of families of the students enrolled in Boyd County High School and Boyd County Middle School in order to enhance success of the students in the classroom.

All Services are Confidential
