The Youth Service Bureau is a DCFS licensed child welfare agency #215936-06 that provides services to youth and their family members in the five counties of Sangamon, Christian, Mason, Menard, and Logan Counties. OUR MISSION The Youth Service Bureau is a licensed Child Welfare agency that serves the needs of abused, neglected, homeless and at-risk youth ages 11-24. The mission of the YSB is to divert these youth from the Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare systems, thus keeping families intact and children in their homes. Our mission also includes serving the needs of older adolescent homeless youth ages 16-24. We do this by helping them to become independent and self sufficient positive contributing members of our community.
