Welcome

The YMS Mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children and youth and to assist them in achieving their highest potential as they grow to become productive, responsible, and caring citizens. YMS addresses the needs of school aged children and youth (ages of 5-19) who live in risk and their families by providing activities and other resources. 

Purpose: Serve ethnically diverse children from disadvantaged circumstances by engaging them in activities that foster their growth          

Since 1973, YMS has extended its reach in Niagara County through a variety of group based programs. These in-service workshops are designed to educate children about problems they may face every day to give them the skills they need to become productive members of society. Youth Mentoring Services is beyond thrilled to celebrate over 50 years of service!

In response to the needs of our community and requests of our families, we continue to grow and adapt. We are extremely grateful for the community donations we have been receiving! At this time, we are only collecting item donations on Mondays from 9:30am-3:00pm. We accept school supplies, personal care products, new or gently used clothing and household items. Please contact us with any questions!
