Since 1969, YST has served youth in the Tulsa area to ensure each young person we encounter feels valued and accepted, supporting and challenging them to embrace their potential. Through almost 20 different programs, Youth Services encounters close to 19,000 youth annually, and often acts as the support network young people don’t have otherwise.
YST uses evidence-based models and frameworks to create and facilitate programs that are impactful, meaningful and make a real difference in the lives and trajectories of our clients. No one is turned away for inability to pay – all services are free or use a sliding-scale fee model.
We know that when an adolescent needs help, they need it ASAP. We work with clients to get needs met as soon as we’re able, whether it’s support for mental health through counseling, emergency shelter for teens, access to health services, housing or opportunities to socialize, Youth Services of Tulsa is here to support, encourage, challenge, nurture and empower young people in our community.
