WHO WE ARE

Community Youth Services of Southern Oklahoma serves as Youth Service Agency providing an array of services from residence to counseling to life skills.

At Community Youth Services, we strive to provide refuge and healing for youth and families. We accomplish this by providing a safe place to live for homeless youth and providing counseling for any child at no cost to the child or family.


We are a 24-hour, temporary residential safe place for up to ten children from birth through 18 years of age who are in need of supervision or are at risk and need refuge due to neglect, abandonment, or abuse. Additionally, our agency provides outpatient mental health services and is one of the few Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) providers in Southern Oklahoma.
