OFFICE OF YOUTH SERVICES |
The DeKalb County Office of Youth Services (OYS) provides programs to help streamline existing fragmented youth service initiatives, while also introducing new signature youth initiatives and programs. The goal of the Office of Youth Services (OYS) is to focus on innovation in creating programming that will inspire and engage DeKalb’s young people. We know that offering our kids support, mentoring, leadership development, and exposure to entrepreneurship, technology and the arts will be an investment in their development and an investment in the future of DeKalb County. Our program implementation includes developing new initiatives and strengthening existing programs to ensure the development of well-rounded children and youth in the Four High Priority Areas of: Youth Mental Health and Wellness, Safety and Risky Behavior, Youth Education, and Youth Homelessness and Economic Wellbeing. DeKalb children and youth are the next generation, the students, the graduates, and the new members of the workforce of tomorrow. Out of DeKalb’s population, our youth are: Just over 51,000 children under age 5 |
