CCYS serves youth and families throughout the Big Bend area of North Florida, including Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, Franklin, Liberty, Jefferson, Madison and Taylor Counties.

ABOUT CCYS

Capital City Youth Services (CCYS) programs, which date back to 1975, began by providing for the basic needs of runaway and homeless youth, ages 10-17. Once established as a private, nonprofit agency, CCYS  has grown to include a continuum of services for runaway, homeless, truant, ungovernable, and other at-risk youth and their families.

Services offered include outreach and prevention in the community, short-term residential care, case management, counseling (individual, family and group), and aftercare.

CCYS 's success has been and will continue to be, measured by the level of satisfaction from the community and our clients, and the ongoing health of the families we serve.

CCYS  is a private, non-profit corporation, funded in part by United Way of the Big Bend, the Department of Juvenile Justice, Florida Department of Child and Family Services, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Leon County, City of Tallahassee, and private donations. CCYS is a member of the Florida Network of Youth and Family Services, the Youth and Family Services Network, and the National Network for Youth.
