THE CITY OF PEEKSKILL YOUTH BUREAU provides children and youth, up to age 21, with effective youth development programs. Youth Bureau Programs are designed to assist City Youth in becoming competent leaders of the 21st century.

Our Youth Development Programs provide opportunities for today's youth to apply their positive energy and skills to life situations and their goals. This enables them to believe in their futures and themselves. Programs offer a safe place to go after school, during school and summer vacations. Supervision is provided by positive role models who facilitate structured activities to engage youth interests, challenge their skills, provide an opportunity for community service and promote educational success. Our programs follow the Youth Development model, which enhances Youth competencies that will ensure our youth are successful in all of their endeavors. Youth Development helps build strong communities, youth and families by emphasizing positive prevention and intervention programs. The Peekskill Youth Bureau is committed to the welfare and protection of all children, youth, and families.

Our programs are staffed by qualified personnel. There are no fees for our services.

The Peekskill Youth Bureau is also an active member of Peekskill Agencies Together (P.A.T.), a community coalition of service providers who collaborate and coordinate to provide comprehensive services to City residents, children and youth.
