Commission on Youth Services

DESCRIPTION

The Commission on Youth Services plans, develops and operates programs and services for youth in East Granby. The commission on Youth Services has been established to serve in an advisory capacity and support the mission and staff of the Youth Services 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 organization.
