It is only with that plan in place that funds become available to Broome County from New York State Department of Children and Family Services. We asses youth needs by convening community planning groups, identifying problems and developing coordinated strategies to address them. We promote private and public partnerships in planning, bringing together towns, villages, cities, social agencies and private citizens. Youth Bureau staff are skilled in non-profit management, program development for youth services, and community issues. We advocate for the adoption of strong legislation, regulations, policies and services to promote the health, growth, and development of youth in Broome County.
