Each Bureau, however, designs and implements programs in response to its community's changing and diverse needs. This is one of the great advantages of being community-based. Bureaus are flexible, diverse, and creative . We are 21 unique programs. All services are confidential.
Bureaus offer services free, with a registration fee, on a sliding fee scale or insurance payments.
Clients are served regardless of ability to pay. In addition, Youth Services Bureau programs are offered in a nondiscriminatory manner, without regard to race, religion, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. 24,356 people received these core services from Bureaus in FY 2000 - 8,038 of them received counseling services. Individual Youth Services Bureaus also provide other services depending on both local needs and funding availability. 22,770 people were served through the special services listed above in FY 2000.
