Annual Report

2 0 1 3
During calendar year 2013, the Youth Service Bureau (YSB) touched
the lives of more than 11,195 individuals. YSB served more than 8,627
youth through public education and more than 1,343 youth through
on-going prevention and after school programming. In addition, YSB
served 1,225 youth and family members in direct services with open
case files and ongoing case management. Service delivery to these
community members came through 14 distinct programs, expertly
delivered by 100 paid staff, guided by a 20 person Board of Directors,
and supported by 826 volunteers. Programming included parenting
education, mentoring, drug abuse prevention, youth development
activities, after school drop in centers, family intervention services, family reunification, group
home housing for boys and girls, runaway shelter services, hotline response, transitional
housing, and challenge course programming.
In 2013, the YSB team made kids matter every single day. Across our programming, we offer
many interventions including resource sharing, practice saying “no” to dangerous situations,
formal counseling, and shelter. We experience hundreds of important moments with our
community’s children and youth every single day, and in those moments what we do most
is make kids matter. Too many children feel unwanted and unimportant. Too many children
go through the day without a single person looking them in the eye. Too many children
experience outright rejection and abuse. That’s why when children come in contact with
the YSB team, we make sure they experience the full attention of safe, caring adults. We
always make time to look them in the eye and give them the special attention they need. We
work hard every single day to make sure children and youth across our community feel our
presence and know that if they need help we are here for them. We are so grateful to you,
our supporters, for making all of this possible. You are a part of the YSB team and we thank
you for that!
I am incredibly proud of the work YSB has done in 2013, making our community’s children
safer, stronger, and more resilient. As a private, not-for-profit agency, YSB is owned by you the community members we serve. As owners I urge you to read through our annual report,
and be in touch with any questions or concerns you have. I feel confident that as owners,
you will join me in the feeling of pride I experience each and every day.

Communit y - Based Programs
Big Brothers Big Sisters
I
n Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) kids are impacted in
numerous ways – from enriching their lives through
exposure to new experiences to role modeling appropriate
ways to manage emotions. The benefits of being matched in
a quality mentoring relationship have ripple effects, impacting
kids, families, and the community as a whole.
ach year, hundreds of kids build lasting bonds through
supervised community matches and through structured
lunchtime and after-school programs at schools and
community centers. Other youth are served through our
JUMP program, a partnership with juvenile probation, to
mentor in the court system. With the help of a network of
volunteers, donors, partners, family members, and advocates,
we carefully match kids between the ages of 5 and 17 with
caring, adult role models throughout Centre, Mifflin, and
Juniata counties.
ut we are not simply matchmakers – we provide ongoing
support and supervision to the Big, the Little, and the
Little’s family. We offer training and advice to help ensure
that the match is working for everyone involved. It is this
web of support that helps maximize the likelihood that a Big
Brothers Big Sisters relationship will thrive and have a lasting
and life-changing impact.
ake, for example, the stories of Jenny and Cassidy, a
community-based match and Tonya and Jeff, one of our
site-based matches.
oth of these pairs celebrated their one-year anniversaries
recently. Little Sister Cassidy comes from a challenging
family background and her mom works long hours to provide
for the family. Big Sister Jenny has been an additional female
presence in Cassidy’s life, simply by doing fun activities with
her each week. From picking pumpkins to baking cookies,
they always enjoy having new adventures together. During
one meeting they decided to do a “girls’ night out,” in which
they dressed up, did each other’s hair, and cooked a “fancy”
Italian dinner together.This night was such a meaningful event
for Cassidy, who rarely, if ever, gets to dress up and have
a special meal prepared just for her. Even though cooking
dinner probably seems rather ordinary to many of us, this
E

experience impacted Cassidy in a big way. Someone took the
time and effort to focus only on Cassidy, creating a memory
for this little girl that will last a long, long time.
ittle Brother Jeff is an energetic boy with a love of cars
and a quirky sense of humor. When he first joined BBBS,
he was often overcome with bouts of anger when things did
not go his way. Upon meeting Big Sister Tonya, he initially was
not quite sure about being matched with a girl. However,
after meeting with Tonya a few times, he started to really
look forward to seeing her each week.
hrough his relationship with Tonya, he has learned
techniques to use when he gets upset. Now instead of
yelling and acting out, he takes a break and goes for a walk
with his Big. He also takes a deep breath and counts to 10.
When he’s ready, he and Tonya discuss why he’s upset and
figure out ways to solve the problem. He has even started to
voluntarily play a few games with peers and is able to control
his emotions if a game doesn’t go his way. It is incredible to
see how much Jeff has grown over the past few months and
how his relationships with peers have improved. Tonya and
Jeff have a mutual respect for one another and teachers have
shared that they have noticed a significant difference in Jeff’s
behavior.

Drug, alcohol, tobacco Prevention
he goal of YSB Prevention Programs is to educate
families and communities about the dangers associated
with drug and alcohol use and to teach kids the skills
they need to avoid drug and alcohol use and other
dangerous behaviors. Our prevention team works with
kids throughout Centre County interacting with them at
our after-school youth centers, in their neighborhoods,
and through workshops and classes at their schools. Not
only do these interactions teach kids a variety of skills and
facts, they build bonds between youth and caring adults
who provide them with time and attention and help direct
youth to the resources they need.
he YSB prevention team members are leaders of many
community coalitions including the local Communities
that Care organizations, SADD clubs, Centre County
Prevention Coalition, Centre County Student Assistance
Program, and the Centre Alliance for Healthy Relationships.
These groups work to engage adults in solving the problems
confronting our youth. With increased awareness comes
coordinated efforts to decreased the risks associated with
alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, and adolescent problem
behaviors.
uring 2013, prevention staff facilitated programming
including Strengthening Families Program: For Parents
& Youth 10-14, rock wall programming, anti-bullying
prevention series, youth adventure camp, and informational
parent forums. We also participated in several community
conversations about dangerous drinking, drug use, and
other dangerous behaviors.
trengthening Families Program: For Parents & Youth 1014 is an evidence-based curriculum for youth and their
parents/caregivers. This program was offered to families in
T
both Centre and Mifflin Counties. During 2013, 24 families
participated in the program, serving 31 youth and 36
parents. The outcomes and feedback that we received from
participants is overwhelmingly positive. Parents shared
what they gained, “I learned to listen, stay calm, express
feelings, say thank you, set house rules, understand peer
pressure, and tell my kids I love them.” Another parent
noted, “This is the best parenting/child program I have
ever attended.” Youth were equally enthusiastic about
the program. One boy told us, “It gives you time to have
positive time with your family and to get closer to your
family. I learned how to respect my parents, and to handle
peer pressure. This really helped me both at school and at
home, especially with being stressed.”

youth centers & S treet Outreach
T
he YSB youth centers in Bellefonte and Snow Shoe
are open during after-school and evening hours
to provide a safe and structured environment where
kids can find caring, supportive staff, have a snack, get
help with homework, make and eat dinner together,
and participate in fun and educational activities. This
same type of support is provided to kids in their own
neighborhoods in five different locations throughout
Centre County through our Street Outreach program.
The activities offered at the centers and through Street
Outreach are designed to keep youth off the streets
where they are at high risk for drug and alcohol abuse
and involvement in other dangerous activities. Our
activities are designed to teach kids the skills they
need to stay safe and to avoid drug and alcohol use.
Our staff take a positive youth development approach
which focuses on building competencies and leadership
skills. Many of the outreach activities are developed
and implemented by the youth themselves.
ne year ago, a new family with three young boys
began spending time at the Bellefonte Youth
Center (BYC). It was a chaotic time for the family.
Their housing was unstable, there were significant
financial issues, and the boys’ father was facing a long
term prison sentence. At the center, the three boys
struggled with the rules and behavior expectations and
with getting along with the other kids. In the beginning,
tears and fits of anger were a daily occurrence. Lots of
loving support and structure was needed for the boys
to make it through one evening at a time. Through
the dedicated support of the BYC team, the three
boys are now thriving. We have seen leadership skills,
emotional regulation, and confidence emerge from the
boys. Their mom shares with us regularly that her boys
behave better at home and at school after spending
time at the BYC. They have found a place where they
fit in and where they know they matter!

Marilyn Lavelle talks about that experience:
I
n the month of January I planned a service project for the
Americorps team. Part of that planning was contacting
all of the ministers of the local churches who participate in
the Out of the Cold program. While organizing this event
I got to meet and work with a lot of people who really
want to help their community in a hands on way. It really
helped me see that there are a lot of people who really care
about those who cannot or who have a hard time caring for
themselves. I can now better appreciate all the hard work
and networking it takes to create and execute a service
project. All of the community members our team worked
with were extremely grateful for the time we spent with
them. We got to give back to people who are already giving
so much to the Centre County community.

T
he goal of the YSB CentreSERVE AmeriCorps team
is to enhance YSB programs and to bring prevention
programming to youth throughout the county. In 2013,
11 members each completed 1700 hours of service
and received a nominal living stipend along with an
educational award.
his past year our AmeriCorps team served hundreds
of youth with prevention activities and educational
lessons. Members focused on engaging youth through
mentoring, life skills instruction, and educational and
recreational activities, often meeting with kids in their
own homes and neighborhoods. Members also enhanced
program services through recruiting volunteers to be
Big Brothers and Big Sisters, supervising family visits,
and organizing activities for youth and
for families.
n addition to their service
at specific programs, the
AmeriCorps team conducted
several community service
events in Centre County. This
year, for their Martin Luther
King Day of service, the team
hosted “The Family Freeze” event
at the Moshannon Valley YMCA.
This fun event included a family meal, ice cream
social, winter craft projects, family games, and a book
room where families received free new books. The
AmeriCorps team also served at the Out of the Cold
program, assisting homeless people in need of a warm,
safe shelter during the winter months.

itting rock bottom hurts. Just about anyone can
find herself in a hopeless situation, but it takes a
hard-working and determined mother to pull herself up
and move forward. Just ask Laurie.
t was early in 2012 when Parenting Plus started
working with Laurie and her two children; 5-yearold Angel, and 3-year-old Caleb. Laurie had difficulty
managing her children’s behavior. She didn’t always
recognize her children’s need for her time, and often
let others take over the job of parenting her two young
children.
hortly after begining service with Parenting Plus,
Laurie left her children in the care of family members
and went to a friend’s house in another town. This
brought increased attention to the family’s situation
from Children and Youth Services (CYS). CYS spoke
with the family to ensure that someone was willing to
take care of Angel and Caleb in Laurie’s absence. The
family decided to move the children to the custody of
their paternal grandmother.
t was at this time that Laurie hit rock bottom.
Someone else was taking care of her children. Laurie
was disheartened and miserable. She loved her children,
but didn’t know what to do next.
ith the support of her parent educator, Laurie
made the choice to work hard to get her
children back in her care. She committed to meet
regularly with Parenting Plus, and to take an active
part in home visits. The goals she set included learning
about child development, understanding the need for
good communication skills, and having age-appropriate
expectations for her children. Her parent educator
shared information on the different stages children go
through and how expectations for children’s behavior
should change as they grow. Many other topics were
covered including the importance of strong attachment
between parent and child, the value of routines in the
home, and how to establish and adhere to rules and
consequences. Laurie was given hands-on practice using
her new parenting skills with her parent educator there
as her coach. Laurie’s parent educator also helped her
to explore the possibility of individual counseling and,
in time, Laurie saw the value of this service as well. As
she gained confidence, Laurie became more assertive.
She began to take charge of herself and her life, which
included stepping up into her role as a parent.

y May of 2013, Laurie was granted shared custody
of her children. These days, Laurie focuses on being
the best parent she can be to Angel and Caleb. She not
only makes good decisions as a parent, but she also
serves as a positive role model for her children. With
the courage and effort it took her to make it through
this tough transition for her family, Laurie has gained
the confidence and ability to climb as high as she wants
to go.
arenting Plus is a family support and education
program designed for families experiencing multiple
stressors which affect their parenting. The program
provides in-home services to families with children
ranging in age from prenatal to 10 years. Parenting Plus
strives to help parents become more effective in their
parenting and increase their enjoyment of parenting
by teaching parenting skills, facilitating parent-child
activities, and completing developmental screenings.
Parent educators also help families connect with
resources such as counseling, nutritional support, and
school readiness programs.

remarried so we helped the family integrate a new step
mom’s role while balancing the importance of father
son time. Mike and Danny spent most of their visit time
together fishing and doing projects while step mom
Jennifer joined in for occasional family time.
t the start of services, Danny was hesitant to open
up to us though he frequently expressed his belief
that he would “never get out of placement.” Our team
offered Danny hope and proved to be a consistent
support for him. In response, Danny gradually opened
up and began to demonstrate self-control.
uly of 2013 was a great month for Danny. In the
beginning of July he graduated from Zerby Gap
and successfully transitioned home with his father
and stepmother. Later in July Danny was successfully
discharged from his drug and alcohol counseling. He
was able to have a fresh start when Mike and Jennifer
agreed to move so Danny could attend a different high
school. Danny joined the school football team and
played for the junior varsity and varsity teams this past
fall. Danny also started attending masonry classes at
Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology
and earned all A’s in these classes.
t the close of services, it was apparent that Mike
understood the importance of spending one-onone time with his son. Danny avoided any further
involvement with law enforcement and abstained from
using drugs and alcohol for the duration of services.
Throughout our time with Danny he maintained contact
with his mother through letters and phone calls.
Danny’s mother is making plans to visit with Danny
over the summer, and both she and Danny are looking
forward to spending time together. Danny now has a
stable family system, and he is a productive part of that
family and our community.
-
he ultimate goal of reunification services is for
children who have been removed from their families
to be able to safely return to their parents’ care. When
that is just not possible, the focus of services is to reach
out to other family members, loved ones, and potential
foster/adoptive families in order to find a “forever
home” for them.
ixteen year old Danny moved here from another state
several years ago. Dangerous behaviors including
involvement in gang related activities, extensive drug
use, and getting into fights, led his mom to decide Danny
needed to “get to know” his father here in Centre
County. Danny did not have a strong relationship with
his father at the time, but Danny’s mother felt she was
running out of options. Danny’s father had moved to
Centre County when Danny was young and had minimal
contact in the interim. Although Danny did not ever
get arrested while he lived with his mother, it was only
a few months after he moved to Pennsylvania before
he became involved in the legal system. Within nine
months, Danny faced twelve charges for crimes related
to theft, trespassing, and receiving stolen property.
anny’s father, Mike, was a single parent who worked
long hours. Despite his attempts to keep Danny at
home, Danny would leave the house after Mike left for
work and get into more trouble. Eventually, Danny was
placed at YSB’s Zerby Gap Familyworks program. The
Reunification team first met Danny and Mike in January
2013. Our job was to get Danny home and help keep
him there safely.
t the first family meeting Danny and Mike expressed
their desire to be reunited. Danny talked about
wanting to spend quality time with Mike. At that
point Danny was doing well in school but at Zerby
he continued to have difficulty following rules and
controlling his anger. During family visits, Danny and
Mike were quiet and had difficulty connecting with one
another despite wanting to be together.
t was apparent to us that Danny and Mike shared a
bond and cared about each other. Mike had recently

usan and John were completely overwhelmed. In
their long life together, they had lots of love and
had accumulated many things. In fact, they had rooms
full of things they didn’t need that made their home
unsafe and cramped. There were plumbing problems,
structural problems, and pigeons roosting in the attic.
Things were already bad, and then their daughter and
her three small children were forced to move back in.
There was plenty of love for these little ones, but not
enough space and not enough physical safety. To keep
the family together, Centre County sought the help of
YSB’s DeClutter program to help turn things around.
rom day one this family was eager to get to work
to get things on track. With a little prompting Mom
and Grandma spent the entire first morning cleaning
and clearing out kitchen cupboards, washing dishes
and clearing counter space, all while working sideby-side with our team. In that one session they made
major progress and really got the ball rolling. Their
motivation and desire for change continued over the
next few weeks and with the whole family working
together things quickly improved. Unused items and
old furniture were removed to make more space, and
everyone pitched in to keep up with chores. With help
from the DeClutter team, the family was able to clean
out their attic and access resources to make much
needed home repairs.
oday, this home is a warm, welcoming place where
the children are thriving. The family enjoys meals
together at a table free of clutter. Movie nights are
easy with plenty of space to sit. Mom and her kids
are working on keeping their own living areas clean
and tidy, with the help of chore charts and schedules,
so that they can make the best use of the space they
have from now on. Thanks to DeClutter, there won’t
be a need to separate this family, and that’s best for
everyone involved!
F
T
he DeClutter Program works with families and
individuals who have been identified as needing
assistance with the issues of hoarding and dangerous
home conditions. The goal is to engage families to
create and sustain a living environment which is safe,
organized, and functional. With the help of the program
staff, families identify their needs and set goals for their
homes which they then work together to achieve.
The DeClutter team works to find resources for the
families we serve including everything from furniture
and flooring to educational materials to assisting with
maintenance of their living space. DeClutter also
enlists the help of volunteers to assist with physical
changes in the home when necessary. DeClutter is
designed to help families stay together, in their homes,
and avoid more costly interventions down the road.

ne type of conference we do in Family Group
Decision Making is called a Youth Transition
Conference, a fancy title for a meeting that helps an
older teen plan for his future. If you are a parent of
a teenager or young adult, you know that helping
a child plan the future is a process that takes many
conversations and spans over many years. There is a lot
to plan for. So imagine being a teen who doesn’t have
parents to offer this guidance. Imagine being a teen
who’s living in a group home, or has moved around
in foster homes, or whose family is under too much
stress to guide him. Youth transition conferences are
designed to pick up what’s missing for these teens.
ne young man we worked with had a lot going for
him, but he also had a tendency to get himself
into trouble. When he was referred to Family Group
Decision Making, he was 17 and living in juvenile
correctional placement. Despite his past mistakes he
had a lot of people in his corner. We met Cody before
he returned to the community and asked him what his
goals were and who could best support him. We were
impressed with what he wanted for himself and set
out to assemble the important people in his life. He
gave us a long list including his parents, grandparents
and brother as well as professional support people
he was working with like his probation officer, school
principal, teachers, and his counselor. Our team met
with these folks and helped prepare them to offer
input while being supportive of Cody’s dreams.
t the conference everyone listened to Cody’s
hopes and goals, even when they didn’t agree with
them. Our facilitator helped the group offer their
feedback, help, and suggestions without putting down
any of Cody’s goals. Cody was able to really listen and
incorporate some new ideas into his plan. The group
also did a “plan b” because we all know sometimes
things just don’t go the way we expect.
veryone left the meeting feeling good about Cody’s
future and their role in helping to shape his plan.
Today, Cody is looking like many 18 year olds. He is
succeeding in a job he likes and laying the foundation for
his future plan; he’s making mistakes and learning from
them; and most importantly of all, he is comforted in
knowing that he has a group of people who have proven
they are there for him as he grows into adulthood.

ore than a house, our shelter is a critical point
of connection for youth. We meet youth where
they are in their development and are often able
to help them before they actually leave their home.
While we are happy to provide a safe, comfortable
place for kids to stay when they aren’t safe elsewhere,
the shelter is also a place to build relationships and
get support at all sorts of critical times.
his year, we saw our non-residential efforts
grow as we witnessed more boys and girls using
our services to realize their potential without ever
spending a single night. Non residential services
include individual and family counseling, as well as
group work and community service opportunities.
Our formal groups, open to all kids in the community,
provide a support structure for healthy socialization
where friendships can thrive and mentoring happens.
Our boys and girls groups meet twice a month and
have given back to our community in many ways.
While we’ve helped young people be safer and
more productive, we’ve also worked on regular

oining the boys group gave my
son some activities that he never
had a chance to do before. He has gained
confidence that he didn’t have before. This has
been an opportunity he wouldn’t have had if we didn’t
know about the shelter and what other things they
provide. After trying different avenues this seems to
be the one thing that he looks forward to doing during
the month. We have worked on our relationship in
the process and with the help of the shelter team we
have been able to deal with issues early on which has
helped with our relationship. To realize there is a safe
supportive place for youth to go and who will help
keep our family together is something I am forever
grateful for. “-A shelter mom

he Youth Service Bureau’s Transitional Living
Program operates an 8-bed home and two
off-site 2 bedroom apartments designed to assist
older youth, who have no viable options for living
with family in their quest toward independence.
Young people ages 16-21 who are homeless, living
in a dangerous situation with no place else to go,
or older youth in the child welfare system whose
permanency goal is independent living, are eligible
for residential services. Youth contribute to every
aspect of running the household, as well as to their
own personal action plan for self-sufficient living.
Youth continue their education, are employed
in the community, and participate in educational
activities and service projects designed to get them
out on their own safely and permanently. Stepping
Stone also provides non-residential services to
youth and young adults in the community, who
have a safe place to reside, yet are in need of
assistance to learn independent living skills which
help them achieve their future goals. Indefinite
aftercare services are also available to all alumni of
the program, regardless of existing circumstances.
Stepping Stone’s mission is to provide youth with a
nurturing, supportive, and challenging environment
conducive to learning the independent living skills
necessary for self-sufficiency.
• Maintained contact with 37 alumni of the program
• Participated in 8 service activities, which amounted
to over 100 volunteer hours given back to the
community by Stepping Stone residents
• Conducted weekly life skill workshops in which
Stepping Stone residential youth and 15 youth from
the community participated

elanie spent most of her youth involved with
the Big Brother Big Sister program, however
as she became older, she was determined to
become independent quickly. After high school
graduation she discovered that making it on her
own wasn’t even close to easy. Although she
maintained contact with her Big, she found herself
with very limited supports and family to help
her transition to adulthood. During this period
Melanie contacted Stepping Stone several times,
but was always hesitant to access or utilize the
services, afraid that someone would attempt to
take control of her life. She wanted desperately
to make it on her own, attempting to pay rent,
own a car, pay bills, and at the same time try to
be a young adult. The challenge proved difficult
and lonely. On an evening in May 2013, Melanie
decided that living in her car at age 19 wasn’t
where she wanted to be and she knew where she
could get help. She entered the Stepping Stone off
site apartments immediately and from there her
life began to take off. Melanie was able to maintain
employment, take care of her health concerns, and
above all, start to obtain her dream, her college
education. She worked hard all summer studying
and maintaining employment, and chose to move
to a PSU campus in the fall. Today, Melanie is a
successful college student, living in the dorms,
competing on the soccer team, maintaining a 3.0
average, and participating in her campus’ THON.

hen she arrived at Stormbreak Amy was
an intelligent, strong and independent 14
year old girl. She was also very angry and had a
hard time taking accountability for her actions. In
the early days of her stay she was aggressive and
often defiant. As time passed, and interventions
fell short, Amy realized that her family would not
be able to do what they needed to do to help her
get home. Thanks to the love and support of our
group home staff and residents, Amy rose above
this incredible disappointment. She became a
positive influence within the house and became
one of our first YSB Youth Council members,
where she is a true leader for the entire YSB. Amy
left Stormbreak to live with a loving foster family,
and while becoming part of a new family is never
easy, she is thriving. We are so grateful to continue
to have Amy as part of the YSB family!
he YSB’s Girls Group Home is a family focused
residence serving girls ages 12-19 in a structured
and nurturing environment. The nine bed home is

The program has a record of success with girls
who experience a wide range of problems including

sexual abuse, substance abuse, truancy, academic
failure, and chronic runaway behavior. The goal
with each youth is to achieve safety, permanency,

P ro g ra ms
ourteen year old Jimmy came to Zerby Gap on a hot
summer day. This occasion was not the first time
that Jimmy was taken from his home, but it would be the
longest he’d be placed somewhere. Prior to arriving at
Zerby, Jimmy had spent several nights staying with friends
without going home or even keeping in touch. His father,
struggling with his own health issues, could not leave the
house without assistance. When Jimmy arrived at Zerby
he was sad and angry. He really believed that at 14 he
could live on his own and be just fine. Thanks to the love,
support, and hard work of the Zerby team, Jimmy and his
Dad found each other again. By being involved in their
visits, Zerby staff helped them learn to do things together
and appreciate the good in each other. Jimmy learned that
part of showing his re-found love of his Dad was to show
respect for his rules. Jimmy’s Dad learned to find ways to
parent and supervise Jimmy despite his failing health. Jimmy
went home more mature than when he arrived, yet he left
knowing that he wasn’t ready to make it on his own, he
needed his Dad and his Dad needed him.
erby Gap Familyworks, a 13 bed group home in scenic
Penns Valley, serves boys ages 12-17. By utilizing a family
like setting with firm, fair, and consistent rules, the group
home staff facilitates growth in boys to foster permanency,
whether that be with their family of origin, a foster home,
or in some cases an independent living situation. While
continuing to utilize traditional methods of counseling and
therapeutic values, Zerby Gap also incorporates outdoor
and adventure-based programming. Regardless of a youth’s
needs (behavioral disorders, family disconnect, history
of abuse, substance abuse, truancy, academic failure, and
chronic runaway behavior), the program practices the
philosophy of: Be Safe, Be Here, Be Honest, Commit to
Goals, Let Go & Move On. By embracing this philosophy
Zerby serves as an avenue for boys to develop skills and
take control of their lives.

The Youth Service Bureau offers many opportunities for community members to be a part of our mission. Whether
working one-on-one with a child or repainting a group home, volunteers are critical members of the YSB family.
SB offers a chance for volunteers to make a hands-on difference in the life of a child by mentoring, tutoring, or
Y
simply offering companionship to our youth. Through their gift of time, volunteers enrich the lives of these young
people. In volunteers kids find a source of pride, hope, and connection. These critically important relationships lead
to improved grades and decreased likelihood of drug & alcohol use. YSB programs provide training and support to
volunteers to ensure success in their assignments. In 2013 YSB youth benefited from volunteers across our programs:
• YSB held 48 orientation sessions for volunteers considering becoming “Bigs” and 12 orientation sessions for
those interested in volunteering in other programs. More than 140 community members joined in these
sessions.
• 29 interns from Penn State University, Lock Haven University, and South Hills spent a semester with YSB.
• 233 people volunteered in Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and another 125 volunteers provided assistance at
our program sites through activities such as tutoring, teaching life skills, and mentoring.
• 226 volunteers offered assistance to YSB at our group homes and youth centers.
addition to working with our children, youth, and families, YSB relies on volunteers to help keep our administrative
Incosts
to a minimum. In 2013,YSB benefited from volunteers assisting with routine maintenance and administrative projects:
• Centre County United Way’s Day of Caring brought more than 37 volunteers to various YSB sites, completing
much needed maintenance.
• In addition to group projects, 30 volunteers completed one-time maintenance projects and assisted with mailings.
