Youth Service Center
Ricky S Adams Youth Service
What is the Youth Service Center?Crosby’s Youth Service Center has been created as a part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act. The Youth Service Center provides services to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school. Parents and teachers agree that it is extremely difficult for children to be successful in school when their families face many issues. The program provides direct services at the center ot links families to other resources in the community.
The mission of the Adams YSC is to provide services, activities, and guidance to families in order to build a bridge to span the school, home, and community. We will work together with students and their families as they learn to shape the social and environmental forces that affect their daily lives, We believe that if we remove the barriers that interfere with learning; our students will succeed and become productive members of society.
Who can use the Youth Service Center?The Crosby Youth Service Center is available to all students and families of Crosby Middle School. The Center is located in room 123 at Crosby Middle School. The Center will be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm with other hours available by appointment. A personal visit is always welcome or you may reach us at 253-6473.
