CYS, a United Way affiliate, has been a successful and established non-profit in downtown Olympia for more than 45 years, providing an array of services to help a wide range of youth: those in foster care, those who need help finishing their educations or getting a job or finding a safe place to live, and those seeking meaningful ways to connect with society in a positive way. About 4,000 youth – and their families – seek our services annually. We offer 20 different programs that work singly and together to help young people become independent, successful adult members of society.
