Our mission is to support youth and families in achieving their needs for health, safety, security and community. We envision every child growing up in a supportive home and community and achieving their full potential for personal growth.

CYS was founded as a small, non-profit social service agency in 1970. Since that time, it has grown steadily, responding to the diverse and ever-changing needs of our community. Today, CYS offers a variety of programs that serve nearly four thousand children, teens, and families in the South Sound area each year.
