Youth & Family Services

Youth & Family Services (YFS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in the business of helping close the opportunity gap for disadvantaged children and young people in the Black Hills community. Each year, we serve thousands of children and their families throughout 30 counties in western South Dakota—many living in poverty—providing food, access to health care, counseling services, trauma treatment, education, prevention programs, and other support. Our programs have proven successful in increasing the well-being of children, birth through age 18. YFS operates nine programs that are braided together to form a strong and inclusive outreach.
