The Mission of the Peekskill Youth Bureau is to provide children, youth, and families with effective youth development programs. Youth Bureau Programs are designed to assist City youth in becoming competent leaders with skills that will make them self sufficient.

Our Programs provide opportunities for today’s youth to apply their positive energy and skills to life situations, academics and their long term goals. Programs offer a safe place to go after school, during school and school vacations. Supervision is provided by positive professional role models who facilitate structured programs and activities to engage youth interests, challenge their skills, provide opportunities and promote positive self esteem. Our Programs follow the Youth Development model, which enhances youth competencies that will ensure youth are successful in all of their endeavors. Positive youth development helps build strong communities, youth and families by emphasizing positive prevention and intervention activities. The Peekskill Youth Bureau is committed to the welfare and protection of all children, youth and their families.
