Introducing: Youth Services of Tulsa

Youth Services of Tulsa (YST) has been selected as the community provider to lead this THAP program. YST has been a vital resource for Tulsa- area youth and their families since its founding in 1969. As the only non-profit in Tulsa exclusively dedicated to adolescents and young adults (ages 12 to 24), YST has served over 300,000 young people in the Tulsa area and surrounding communities.

The organization offers a comprehensive suite of programs, which are continually adapted to address the increasingly complex needs of young people. These programs—including counseling, runaway and homeless youth services, delinquency prevention, and youth development—are informed by the input of youth, their families, and the community.

YST's commitment to successful outcomes and quality services is recognized nationally; their programs are considered models for creativity and quality. The organization holds accreditation from the Council on Accreditation and is a recipient of the ONE (Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence) Award in Youth Development.
