    • About Us

    One of Iowa's oldest and largest youth-serving nonprofit organizations, YSS's mission is to create hope and opportunity by putting kids first. We offer education to build healthy minds and bodies; counseling to overcome life’s challenges; and stability to focus on the future.

    YSS empowers youth by providing education, counseling, and stability. Our goal is to create a continuum of care—together, our programs give youth the tools they need to succeed through their entire lives.

    YSS is headquartered in Ames with locations across the state: YSS of Boone County, YSS of Marshall County, YSS of Hamilton County, YSS Francis Lauer, and Iowa Homeless Youth Centers (IHYC). Each of our centers are tailored to fit the needs of the surrounding community.
