East Granby Youth Services Bureau
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
The Youth Services Bureau operates under the administration of part-time staff along with the Commission on Youth Services (CYS). The CYS has been established to serve in an advisory capacity and support the mission and staff of the Youth Service Bureau. Members are appointed by the Board of Selectman and represent various segments of the community including law enforcement, education, children and families, and local business and organizations.

Meetings are held every 3rd Monday of the month and are open to the public.
