Statewide Youth Services Network

The Statewide Youth Services Network program creates a statewide network of youth programs aimed at positive youth development. Family Support Services funding allows state-level grantees to identify areas that may benefit from additional resources and target specific support to local communities to maintain a statewide network. Examples of services provided through the Statewide Youth Services Network include mentoring and youth skills development.

Service Focus


  • Children and youth ages 6-17, with a focus on youth between the ages of 10-17 in communities across the state.

Providers


Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Texas and the Texas Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs are grantees that maintain a statewide network of youth programs. Counties are served at the discretion of the Statewide Youth Services Network. Contact each organization to confirm availability of services.

Measures of Success


  • Children remain safe during services and within one to three years after services.
  • Increasing the percentage of youth not referred to juvenile probation.
