San Diego Youth & Community Services is a nationally recognized, comprehensive non-profit organization that has helped stabilize the lives of more than a half-million young people and their families since 1970. We administer 14 different programs from nine centers located throughout San Diego County. Our approach is practical, not theoretical, dealing with long-term solutions. Many of our programs are replicated in communities across the nation.

Our programs throughout San Diego County include: comprehensive services for abused and neglected children; emergency shelter and medical aid for homeless youth; group homes and transitional housing; substance abuse/mental health treatment and prevention; family assessment services; foster care and adoption support; independent living skills; education for parenting and pregnant teens; and gang prevention. Our prevention and education efforts focus on AIDS, drug and alcohol use, child abuse, teen pregnancy and gang prevention.
