About Our Organization

Youth Service Bureaus were started in our country in 1972 with federal Juvenile Justice funds, originally for the prevention of juvenile delinquency. Youth Service Bureaus in CT were established by state statute in 1975 to address the needs of youth. Tri-Town Youth Services Bureau in Deep River, CT, was founded in 1984 and continues to strive to foster an environment where youth are able to establish strong and positive relationships with family, school, peers, and the community.

Now, Tri-Town Youth Services Bureau is one of the 100 YSBs in the state of CT, which serves 100,000 young people each year. A $50 million budget makes youth service bureaus one of the largest systems in the state for services to youth and families. Tri-Town Youth and Family Services Bureau is proud to uphold the professional standards of CYSA.

Tri-Town Youth Services is deeply grateful to our generous donors for their continued support. Your contributions make a meaningful impact on the programs we offer and the community we serve. Thanks to your generosity, we’re able to make a real difference for local youth and families. Together, we can keep creating positive change—

Thank you for being such a vital part of our mission!
