About MCYS
MCYS is a child's bridge from challenges today to achievements tomorrow.
Montgomery County Youth Services (MCYS) is committed to working with youth and their families through several human services and mental health programs. MCYS was established in 1979 by a group of community leaders who developed juvenile justice prevention services for at-risk youth in the community. MCYS obtained their not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) status in September 1979. See our:
MCYS has expanded over the years to include services and activities that benefit youth who struggle with the challenges and complexities of life. Core services that are available to youth and their families are:
The agency's eight locations provide direct and indirect services to thousands of youth and families annually. MCYS has strong collaborative relationships with community agencies, businesses, churches and school districts.
Organization
MCYS is organized into two primary, interrelated entities to facilitate the effective delivery of needed services:
Youth and Family Services – Provides short-term crisis intervention and mental health services for youth up to age 21. Individual, group, and family counseling targeted at resolving youth and family issues is available at no charge. Other services include:
Shelter Services – Provides youth in crisis with a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment while working toward achieving identified objectives.
Funding MCYS is funded in part at the Federal, State, and County level. We are a Montgomery County United Way partner and receive funding through the Montgomery County Community Development grant. We are also supported by the generous donations of individuals, organizations, churches, corporations and foundations in the local community and the greater Houston area.
