youth services
Young people's assistance
Youth services are programs and resources designed to support young people, typically from childhood through early adulthood.
The term covers a broad range: education, employment assistance, mental health support, recreational activities, and intervention for at-risk youth.
Libraries often have youth services departments focused on children's and teen programming.
Government agencies and nonprofits provide youth services addressing everything from job training to juvenile justice diversion.
