HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES: Youth Bureau
A good childhood lasts a life time.
Mission Statement:
The Tioga County Youth Bureau is dedicated to promoting the physical, emotional and social well-being of all youth and families through planning, funding and coordination of resources. Viewing and treating youth as a primary community resource is essential to our county’s future.
The Youth Bureau is a county funding, planning and coordinating agency aimed at fostering the positive development of youth (up to 21 years old). Funding is available from the State Office of Children and Family Services for recreation, youth development, and delinquency prevention programs. To receive Youth Bureau funding - programs may not charge a fee. The Tioga County Youth Bureau does not provide direct services but sponsors programs run by community based organizations and municipalities.
The Youth Bureau operates with an advisory board consisting of representation from throughout the county. The Youth Board is comprised of representatives from towns, villages and schools.
