Program Summary

Center for Family Services operates two School Based Youth Services Programs (SBYSPs) located at Warren Hills Regional School District. SBYSPs are grant funded programs dedicated to providing resiliency‑building services such as counseling, educational support, prevention programming, recreation and enrichment, and some crisis intervention to middle school and high school students. This position is with a private, non‑profit agency providing a program within a public school and not a position with the school district itself.
