The Youth Service Bureau– a local after school and summer program that provides free opportunities for youth from ages 11 to 17–is hoping to recruit additional kids for the program.
According to the website, the Youth Service Bureau was established in 1975 and provides many benefits to those that enter its doors, including the opportunity to volunteer, mentoring and tutoring from TXST students, a safe place to socialize and build friendships, recreational activities that promote mental and physical wellbeing and workshops that discuss important topics such as violence prevention, alcohol/drug awareness, character education and personal health and well-being.
YSB Executive Director Julie Hollar said the program teaches kids skills and information that are needed to navigate their world.
