 Youth Bureau Information

Youth Services of Chautauqua County

The intention of this website is to make people aware of the Youth Services that are available in Chautauqua County. It contains not only information specific to our county, but also provides many links too much broader services.

The Chautauqua County Youth Bureau and the Chautauqua County Youth Board have been in existence for over 30 years. The role of the organization is to actively work in collaboration with other government entities, public and private funding agencies, service providers, and other segments of the community to develop a framework from which an effective integrated planning process can be operated. This process ensures that the most needed youth services can be operated.

The County Youth Bureau/Board also functions as a funder by acting as a conduit for state aid from the New York State Office of Children & Family Services and also as a direct service provider by seeking funding for and implementing programs that fill gaps in the youth service system.

The County Youth Bureau/Board’s annual funding process provides state aid to public and private not-for-profit agencies to implement quality youth service programs that address identified needs. The competitive process starts in March each year. More detailed information regarding the funding process may be obtained by contacting the Youth Bureau Office.
