About Youth & Family Services


Youth & Family Services (YFS) is a branch of the Channel Islands YMCA devoted to social services. We operate programs that provide a continuum of care to youth, young adults, and families. Thousands of youth and young adults in our community experience homelessness, cycle their way through the foster care system and face chronic stress that adversely impacts wellness and stability. Our programs are grounded in positive youth development whereby protective factors are bolstered, risk mitigated, and those in crisis have access to supportive services when they need them most.

We are focused on bringing about meaningful and lasting change in youth and families by ensuring they have a safe place to live, a reliable support system, connection to positive adult role models, and access to needed resources.
