Welcome to Youth Outreach Services

Youth Outreach Services (YOS) is a non-profit organization based in Chicago that partners with at-risk youth and their families to help them reach their full potential. We promote positive development through a range of services, including child welfare, counseling, juvenile justice, and prevention programs. Our goal is to help individuals overcome challenges such as abuse, substance use, and homelessness. Since 1959, YOS has served over 300,000 youth and families, providing community-based support to empower all young people to face life’s challenges with confidence, competence, and dignity.
