About the Youth Board

The purpose of the Youth Board is to advise the Town Board of measures that will assist in coordinating the work of public and private agencies, religious and social institutions for the promotion of the moral, physical, mental and social well-being of the youth of the Town, and for the prevention of delinquency and youth crime by supporting services that strengthen family life and enable all youth to attain their fullest potential.

In its capacity as advisors to the Town Board, the Youth Board should carry out the following program functions:

• Delinquency Prevention
