uring calendar year 2014, the Youth Service Bureau
(YSB) touched the lives of more than 11,597
individuals. YSB served more than 1,278 children
through public education, prevention and after school
programming. In addition, YSB served 1,174 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 95 paid staff, guided by a 20 person
Board of Directors, and supported by 941 regular,
trained 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.
I
n 2014, the YSB team made kids matter every single day. Across our programs, sharing important
moments with our community’s children and youth, that is what we do - we make kids matter.
Each day, children encounter YSB staff who are genuinely happy to see them. What a great feeling!
Each day, kids spend time with YSB staff who say and mean “you can tell me anything”, and they
do. What a safety net! Each day, families know that when they are scared and confused, they can
turn to YSB and we will be there to help. How comforting!
W
e are so grateful to you, our supporters, for making all this possible. As a private, not-forprofit agency, YSB is owned by you - the community members we serve. 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 2014,
making our community’s children safer, stronger, and more resilient. As owners I urge you to read
through this, 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 being incredibly proud of our team!

MISSION
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.With the help of a network of volunteers,
donors, partners, family members, and advocates, we carefully
match local 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, one of our after-school programs where
we have 19 matches meeting after-school once a week.
The amazing fact about this site is that of those 19 “Bigs,” 5
were former “Littles.” The time they spent with their Bigs
helped them realize the potential they have. Meeting with
their Bigs gave them the confidence to stay on track, avoid
drugs and alcohol, and be good students—the same qualities
that make them great role models for the children they are
matched with who are facing similar challenges today. Now,
these Bigs are passing it forward and giving back to other
youth, who are benefitting from having these caring people
in their lives. Our Bigs are people who help their Littles
weather the ups and downs, who remain a constant source
of encouragement and nurturing, who jubilantly celebrate
the small victories, and who provide guidance and support.
We are privileged to witness these important connections
develop and honored to help them grow.

ife long impact is evident in a community based match
between Big Sister Megan and her little sister, Jenny. As
their match was coming to a close, they decided to make
the most of their last few weeks together. Since they had
been matched for four years, they had a plethora of places
around the county where they had made memories. They
decided to visit their top four to take new pictures and
remind themselves of their memories. For their last meeting,
they met at Barnes & Nobles for hot chocolate, where
Megan surprised Jenny with the printed photos and two
scrapbooks. They spent the next several hours sipping their
drinks and making scrapbooks for one another so that they
had something to remember their match.
nother example of how kids thrive under the mentorship
of a Big Brother or Big Sister is the story of Kris and
Heather. Not long after being matched in 2012, this pair
began volunteering at PAWS. They went through the training
and began working shifts, ultimately deciding on giving their
time every Sunday when visitors come to see the dogs. Kris
and Heather sit with dogs and provide information about
the dog to visitors who might be interesting in adoption.
Over time, Heather’s responsibilities increased and she
now fills water bowls, and passes out treats and toys. This
experience has helped Heather mature as she takes on more
responsibilities with the dogs. Heather has made positive
changes in her life and she has learned the importance of
helping others. Heather’s Big Sister has helped cultivate her
passion for working with animals and in doing so has also
helped her grow and develop in ways that nobody imagined
when they first started meeting.

Drug, alcohol, tobacco Prevention
he goal of the YSB Prevention Program 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 them
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, and Centre County Student
Assistance Program. These groups work to engage adults
in solving the problems confronting our youth. With
increased awareness comes coordinated efforts to decrease
adolescent problem behaviors, and thus decrease the risks
associated with alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
uring 2014 Prevention staff provided bullying
prevention and drug abuse prevention lessons in 5
area school districts, presented at 35 community events,
facilitated 28 sessions of Strengthening Families Program
for youth 10-14, and participated in 35 community events
and informational forums, serving thousands of youth and
families.
T
E
very year YSB hosts an adventure camp for teens in
our programs. This two week day camp is designed
to give youth the opportunity to take risks in a safe and
positive way and to learn leadership skills that prepare
them to be positive adults in our community. Youth
participate in workshops such as media literacy training,
Safe Place training, and peer pressure refusal skills, as well
as a workshop about bullying prevention hosted by the
PA Attorney General’s Office. Youth also participate in
adventure activities including kayaking, hiking, white water
rafting, and ropes course adventures. Seventeen youth
participated in camp in 2014, and many shared how this
adventure was the highlight of their summer!

youth centers & S treet Outreach
Y
SB 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
Center 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
in youth. Many of the outreach activities are developed
and implemented by the youth themselves.
n 2014 the Bellefonte Youth Center (BYC) found a
new home. During the summer, program staff ran
a mobile youth center, meeting the needs of youth in
Bellefonte. We met at parks, pools, the library, the
YMCA, and other community spaces while our new
home at 114 N. Spring Street was being renovated.
Even though we did not have a physical space to
call our own for nearly four months, BYC kids were
still active. Youth participated in community service
projects, adventure camps, bullying prevention lessons,
drug and alcohol prevention activities and community
field trips. Finally in September we opened our doors
to our new space, and the kids couldn’t be happier.
The new Bellefonte Youth Center has bigger meeting
spaces, an enhanced kitchen, and a better layout to
serve the youth of Bellefonte. If you ask the kids at the
BYC what they think about the new center they will tell
you how much they love it. Angel, a youth who hangs
out at the youth center regularly told us, “The new
BYC is perfect!”
I
A
lthough our youth centers are a vital component in
providing a safe place for kids, our outreach in the
neighborhoods is equally as important in reaching kids
who cannot get to the centers. One great example
of how critically important our outreach work is can
be demonstrated through Heidi’s story. Heidi began
participating in Street Outreach services when she
was 10 and her family moved to Centre County, into
one of the neighborhoods where our team is regularly
present. Heidi was very quiet, slow to engage with
the group, and generally kept to herself. Each week,
outreach staff would knock on her door and invite
her out for activities. Soon, Heidi began to regularly
come out and participate in the activities. She also
participated in art group, adventure camp, and field
trips. Heidi also joined the girls group that is facilitated
by our shelter staff. Heidi’s confidence and leadership
skills have grown by leaps and bounds over the past five
years. Today, she is a bright, talented, and kind young
woman with excellent leadership skills!

AMERICOR P S
he goal of the YSB CentreSERVE AmeriCorps team
is to enhance YSB programs and to bring prevention
programming to youth throughout the county. In 2014,
10 members committed to serving 1700 hours of
service in the community 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 skill instruction, educational and
recreational activities, often meeting with kids in their
own homes and neighorhoods. Members also enhanced
program services through recruiting volunteers to be
Big Brothers and Big Sisters, supervising family visits,
and organizing activities for youth and
families.
ach AmeriCorps member
who serves with the
CentreSERVE team has a
unique experience serving our
community. Some members
work primarily with younger
youth at drop in centers, some
are providing life skills lessons and
activities in our residential homes,
and others are supporting families in parenting and
reunification programs. One of our members serving
at the Bellefonte Youth Center had a wonderful
experience working with a 10 year old boy. Mike has
been a regular at the youth center since he was five.
Mike is a bright kid, full of energy, smart and witty. One
area that he needed help with was his reading. Mike
was behind grade level, and though he is confident in
many areas, he lacked confidence in his reading ability.
Our AmeriCorps member at the center noticed this
and began talking with Mike about his reading goals.
At first, Mike did not want to spend any time reading,
saying he would rather play or talk with friends at the
center. Our AmeriCorps member was able to engage
him in a reading program that was fun with lots of
positive rewards for the work he was putting in. Our
AmeriCorps member connected with Mike’s teacher
and his parents so that everyone could help support

him. After a full year of special one on one reading time
and lots of practice, Mike is at a 4th grade reading level,
which is right where he should be! He reads aloud in
a group during “circle up” time at the center and even
chooses to read for fun.
Stephen Ewing talks about his experience:
O
ne member, who did two terms of service with
us, worked with youth at our youth centers for
two years. As his time with our agency began drawing
to a close, he realized how much he was going to miss
the kids he had been spending time with over the past
two years. He wrote this, “For several months now my
supervisor has been talking to me about the importance
of saying goodbye. I have been building relationships with
several of the youth I work with, helping them learn and
work on everything from how to spell their name or swim,
to anger management and coping skills. Since consistency
is key to what we do, saying goodbye needs to be done
in a way that is consistent with how important those
relationships are. While it may not be the happiest
experience, it should be a positive one. In one particular
case, with a youth I struggled with for several months,
we had a pleasant and honest conversation over ice cream
about the time we’ve spent together, how we handled each
other, and the improvements that were made especially
in regard to his self-control, and the way he treats others.
As Heidegger asserts, we cannot be complete, or defined
until our life comes to an end. Relationships are similar,
and while I had many hard moments, as well as many
wonderful ones with every youth, our last few are the ones
that will sum up the relationship. I feel it is important when
saying goodbye to make it as meaningful as the relationship
leading up to that goodbye, and to let it be a time for giving
that relationship a meaningful and positive completion.”

“
I was young and made mistakes with my oldest son,
Shawn, but I am learning how to care for myself
and ways to maintain a safe, stable and nurturing
environment for my sons and me to grow as a family.”
assandra first began services with Parenting Plus
in October 2012 when her oldest son Shawn was
just a month old having no family support, 18-yearold Cassandra made the decision to leave her family
home. She “couch hopped” to various residences
where friends would take her in. She was scared and
surviving on her instincts. She met with her Parent
Educator a handful of times to discuss her housing and
employment opportunities. She reviewed materials
about safe sleep, nutrition and Shawn’s intellectual
development. Her Parent Educator was determined to
help Cassandra but meetings were often missed and her
maturity and motivation to engage in services was not
always there. Her Parent Educator empathized with
her situation and understood that she needed more
time and opportunity to grow as an individual and learn
to identify as a mom before being able to address these
other challenges. Children and Youth Services (CYS)
had an open case due to concerns about Shawn’s safety
and well-being. Time had run out for Cassandra, and
Shawn was placed in the primary care of his father and
paternal grandmother.
year later, Cassandra had her second son. She
was in a similar place demographically, but her
motivation and maturity had grown. With the hands
on guidance and emotional support from her Parent
Educator, Cassandra decided to focus her goals on
learning about child development, Infant Massage
(which facilitates parent-child attachment), and child
safety. She reviewed developmental materials using
the Parents as Teachers program, which is an evidenced
based program that has shown to improve the quality
of parent-child relationships, increase Kindergarten
readiness and decrease the risks of abuse and neglect.
These developmental topics included safe sleep,

soothing techniques for baby, nutrition, bottle care
and feeding. Her Parent Educator assisted Cassandra
with transportation to her well-baby check-ups, WIC
appointments and housing appointments.
fter hearing continual reassurance that she was
doing well, Cassandra began to feel empowered
and ready to work on her own wellness. She began
services with a therapist, took classes to work toward
her GED and got a volunteer job at a local thrift store
to gain work experience. She attended monthly parent
and play groups offered by Parenting Plus.
er hard work has been paying off and Cassandra has
been able to increase her visitations with Shawn.
She has been able to maintain an apartment where she
and Jason live. Cassandra takes pride in her parenting
and personal growth. She is especially proud of the
work she has done to improve her cleaning abilities
and engage with her sons. She enjoys being able to
decorate her apartment with personal touches and has
been heard calling herself the “baby whisperer” when it
comes to helping a baby fall asleep. Cassandra aspires
to enroll in business school or vocational training once
she obtains her GED.
arenting Plus is a family education and support
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 be 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
community resources such as counseling, nutritional
support, and school readiness programs.

inspirational quotes for her. Annie has kept every letter
from him in a shoebox. Having the consistent support
of even one special person can make a big difference.
nnie has made great progress. From the time YSB
began working with her in Fall of 2013 until her
graduation from our girls’ group home a year later,
Annie grew in maturity, responsibility, and outlook. As
she learned about herself and began to like herself, she
became more understanding of other people and was
able to accept them, flaws and all. Her school experience
has improved now that she has tutors helping her with
study skills. She has also came to realize that teachers
are happy to work with her to improve her learning and
grades. Annie has now successfully transitioned to living
full time with a loving and supportive foster family. As
for future plans, Annie wants to graduate high school, go
to college, and major in psychology or counseling. She
hopes to become a child advocate one day, helping other
young people like herself.
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.

itterness. Blame. Denial. These were some of the
emotions Annie was struggling with when she first
came into our Reunification program. At the center of
Annie’s problems was a lack of trust in her peers and in
adults, including authority figures, service providers, and
teachers. Frequently exhibiting her anger, she swore at
her Reunification counselors and refused to cooperate
with those trying to help her. School was a struggle.
Despite handing in homework, Annie did poorly on
tests because she’d never learned effective study skills.
Getting along with peers was another challenge for
Annie. She tended to be critical and judgmental of
others. How does one help a 14-year-old girl deal with
such negative emotions and thinking?
he first step was to ensure Annie’s safety. She went
to live with other young women at Stormbreak,
YSB’s residential program for teen girls. This took
some serious adjustment for Annie. She was not used
to following rules and taking ownership of her actions
and mistakes. She needed to learn about sharing,
cooperation, and getting along with others.
he second step in helping Annie was having regular
sessions with her counselors in Reunification to
help guide her to a new and more positive approach
to life. She had been hurt and let down many times
in the past, so the Reunification counselors’ main job
was to build a trusting relationship with Annie so she
would believe in their advice and implement the changes
she needed to make. In order to accomplish this the
counselors always followed through with plans made,
were sensitive to Annie’s emotional needs, and helped
Annie deal with disappointments and challenges.
nnie was fortunate to have the constant support of
her grandfather. She went to church with him every
week and often spent the rest of the day on Sunday with
him. He wrote to her every week – one side of the
paper contained a letter and the other side contained

oarding is a recognized disorder in the mental
health field. Like any other disorder it takes a
lot of work and help to manage. In DeClutter, we
work with hoarding behaviors of varying types and
degrees. We are not therapists; we are hands-on help.
Experts believe that once someone acquires hoarding
tendencies, it will be a life-long challenge for them to
keep under control.
he families and individuals we work with in
DeClutter come to us through referrals from
Children and Youth Services and Mental Health
agencies. A referral is usually made to us when families
are at risk of losing custody of their children, or they
are in danger of losing their housing because home
conditions may be so poor that they are dangerous.
his year our work led us to meet Robert. In
addition to hoarding, Robert has serious health
issues. His hoarding behavior is a real danger to those
around him. To keep his household intact, we were
asked to help. When we met Robert, we encountered
enormous overcrowding in his home. He loves
information, so discarding newspapers, magazines, or
books seemed impossible to him. A real fear of losing
important information kept him a prisoner of his own
belongings and threatened the safety of everyone
around him.
hen we began working with Robert, his anxiety
levels were extremely high. He understood
the seriousness of the situation, but still valued
his possessions with deep emotion and did not
want others touching, moving and especially removing
anything without his full participation. In Declutter, we

do not make any decisions or do anything without the
participation and consent of the resident. To go into
another’s home and make drastic or even small changes
would likely be very traumatic to that person and
realistically only provide a very temporary fix to the
problem. All decisions about what is done are made
by the individuals we are working with. So for Robert,
change became possible.
major part of the work that we do before we can
begin to reorganize, downsize and haul things out,
is to guide those we work with on making decisions.
Often that is the hardest part, because it has been
avoided for so long. By asking questions and talking
through thoughts and ideas, we help others develop
healthy decision making skills. After working with
Robert for many months, he has learned to face the
decisions in front of him every day and make the most
beneficial choices for his long-term stability. Often
with humor, Robert can recognize the difference in his
outlook on his belongings now as compared to before
he started this process. For Robert this will be a life
long struggle to keep his disorder in check, but he has
gained the concrete skills and confidence to confront
the problem in a more positive and effective way.

fully aware of what was happening, to hold the family
together and confront openly the challenges they were
facing. At the conference, everyone talked about all of
the good things that were happening with the family
as well as about the concerns and worries they had
for the family moving forward. Everything was out in
the open. People were honest with one another. This
frank discussion led to laughter, tears and sometimes
anger but it also culminated in a truly thoughtful
and collaborative plan to address the concerns that
were breaking the family down. Six months after the
conference, the family reported that Sharon was no
longer drinking, and her relationship with her boys had
never been better.
t is our hope that by participating in the Family Group
Decision Making process, we can help families like
Sharon’s strengthen the bonds that are already there
and provide a model for how to talk about difficult
issues openly without blame or shame so that they can
work through challenges while keeping each other safe.
We believe that families understand themselves better
than any outside system, and that they are their own
best hope.

haron is a single mother. She had a rocky marriage
that resulted in divorce about a decade ago. She is
raising three boys on her own, the oldest now living
independently. Sharon has always worked, but her job
of many years is not high paying. Money is always tight
and a source of stress. Sharon can be warm, outgoing
and care deeply about others. Unfortunately, she
sometimes struggles to find hope and optimism in her
situation, which results in her feeling depressed and
overwhelmed. Historically during these times, Sharon
drank heavily. These episodes caused enormous worry
to her children. As her boys got older they began to
express their worries about their mom’s drinking, and
being kids they expressed that worry in all sorts of
ways. Sometimes they were explosive, other times
they were more subtle with disrespectful remarks and
treatment toward Sharon. After a while, the situation
between Sharon and the boys led to involvement with
Children & Youth Services. The family was assigned a
caseworker who recommended Family Group Decision
Making (FGDM) for the family. This process would
allow the family to develop their own solutions to
resolve what was going on in their home.
t first mention, the idea of gathering friends
and family around for support and help seemed
wonderful, but then worry and shame set in. Sharon
welcomed love and support from others, but was afraid
to let even those closest to her see what was happening
in her family. Even so, Sharon was committed to doing
whatever was necessary to make positive and lasting
changes for her family. She came up with a list of those
people who were important in her and her boys’ lives.
The FGDM coordinator met with all the people on her
list and explained why a conference was being held and
what would need to be accomplished there as a group:
an effective plan with everyone working together,

efore Sarah came to the Youth Haven she was
afraid to try anything new, and consequently
she was very alone. She was miserable in her own
skin. Sara did not want to go to school and skipped
classes on a regular basis. At home, she argued
with her mother every day, and with few friends to
turn to her sense of hopelessness grew. When she
became overwhelmed, her habit was to just pick up
and leave home, often in the middle of the night.
Each time, her mother would call the police and
report her as a runaway, and the police would bring
her home. Compounding things, Sara’s mother had
gotten married to a man that she did not get along
with. After a serious altercation with him, Sara left
again. This time when the police officer found her she
refused to go home. As is often the case, the officer
knew the Youth Haven well and brought her to us.
That night, she had no idea things were about to turn
around, but they were.
uring her stay with us, Sarah blossomed.
Through family counseling sessions, she
was able to express herself and listen to
her parents for the first time in a long
time. Together, they were able to
work on a plan that would keep them
safely together. With help after school
each day, she caught up her academic
work. Through socializing with other youth
at the Haven and involved in our outreach
programming, she began to feel more comfortable
socially and a whole lot less alone. Today, Sara is
with her mom and step dad, making it to school, and
sleeping through the night – no more running away!

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 for 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.
P ro g ra ms
• In 2014 we began the process of moving
our transitional living services to a full
apartment model. By July of 2015, all youth
served will be in their own apartments in
the community, living with a roommate
and receiving intensive case management
services from our team. We believe this
will create the best possible chance for
long-term success.

Lila, a Stepping Stone Resident shares….
There is not much I can say but how I am
appreciative of everything the YSB has offered me
through the course of my many years. I have been
involved with the YSB since I was 12 when I went to the
shelter for the first time. Life wasn’t necessarily difficult
but my mother was an alcoholic and my father was
never around. Every once in a while my mother would
show up but it didn’t last long. My grandparents were
my sole providers but we lived really far out and our
only adventurous time was when we went to Walmart.
I worked with the shelter and was able to utilize their
services many times and I thank them because they
kept me in my home. However, at the age of 19 I found
myself homeless once again. I had been caught stealing
and found myself unable to keep a job and lacking on
resources. I found myself walking past Stepping Stone
one day and wondered if there was anyone there I
might know. I walked in and asked for a particular
person and found out that they were still there. This
was a new beginning for me because despite what has
happened or what I have done, she was still willing
to help me. For a while I did not want to go into the
program. I worked with one of the team people and
started to get myself together. I found a job, I worked
out my fines and I started to build myself back up.
When I realized that I needed a little more support
I found myself back in the house asking if I could
live there. Today I am on track, I have made a decent
path for myself. I am working towards moving into the
apartments and getting my license. Most important of
all, I have people who care about me, and I know I am
going to make it!”

egan age 13, arrived at Stormbreak after she
had been using drugs and alcohol, sneaking
out of her home at night and hanging out with
much older kids. After meeting Megan, it didn’t
take long to understand that she was trying to
escape serious problems in her own home. She
had few positive adults in her life and was heading
down a frightening path. In the beginning of her
stay she seemed to believe that she did not need
any help and she made that clear to those working
with her.
arly on, Megan had trouble admitting that her
family members had serious problems of their
own. As she grew more comfortable with staff
and in her own skin, she began to look at things
with a clear mind, albeit a troubled heart. As she
grew in her understanding and confidence, she
started to set necessary boundaries with family
members. As with most of our girls, there were
many disappointments for her along the way, but
Megan faced them with strength and hope. She
opened herself to the love and care the adults at
Stormbreak offered her. She was able to start to
express her emotions instead of hiding them, as
she had done for so long. She began to open up
about her past and started to find a new path to
walk down.
egan began new relationships with peers
and extended family that she will be able to
have for a lifetime. Through her hard work she
maintained honor roll in school and got ready to
live in a foster family that could offer her a safe
and loving home. Today, she is making the very
best of all aspects of her life and enjoying every
minute of it!

n residential work, we know that our biggest job is to
plant seeds. Sometimes we don’t know if the plants will
flourish, sometimes boy’s contact us long after leaving our
home and tell us they did, and sometimes we have the
privilege of watching them fully bloom!
ommy has given us the chance to be part of the whole
process and we are so grateful for that. When Tommy
first came to us at age 14 he was struggling with how to fit
in a family, in school, and most importantly in his own skin.
He struggled to like himself, like others, and was overcome
by the trauma he suffered as a young child. Tommy lost his
mother and father at an early age, had no biological family
to take him in, and moved through multiple foster homes
before coming to us.
arly on at Zerby he struggled to control his own
behavior and emotions, and he felt completely alone
and helpless. He worked hard to keep people away, so it
wasn’t always easy to be with Tommy. YSB stuck by him
though, refusing to give up. We loved his smile, his sense
of humor, his growing sense of self, and eventually his selfconfidence.
his year Tommy will successfully graduate from high
school while still living with his Zerby Gap family.
For years, we have accepted, supported him, cheered him
on, held him accountable, and marveled at his continued
growth! While it is rare for a boy to be with us as long as
Tommy has, for him it’s been exactly what he needed and
we are honored to be a critical part of his life.

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 2014 YSB youth benefited from volunteers across our programs:
• YSB held 30 orientation sessions for volunteers considering becoming “Bigs” and 12 orientation sessions for
those interested in volunteering in other programs. More than 150 community members joined in these
sessions.
• 33 interns from Penn State University, Lock Haven University, and South Hills spent a semester with YSB.
• 262 people volunteered in Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and another 331 volunteers provided assistance at
our program sites through activities such as tutoring, teaching life skills, and mentoring.
• 88 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 2014,YSB benefited from volunteers assisting with routine maintenance and administrative projects:
• Centre County United Way’s Day of Caring brought more than 35 volunteers to various YSB sites, completing
much needed maintenance.
• In addition to group projects, 50 volunteers completed one-time maintenance projects and assisted with mailings.
