The Mount Vernon Youth Bureau is the lead municipal agency that provides positive youth development services to youth ages 6 to 21. The Mount Vernon Youth Bureau supports generations of youth and families by developing and implementing safe, high-quality programs that promote the physical, emotional and social well-being of our city's young people.

Our mission is to empower, educate and prepare Mount Vernon's youth and families to make healthy decisions that will lead to eventual self-sufficiency and lifelong success. We are committed to ongoing evaluation and community mobilization, which strengthens our efforts as the central resource for the population that we serve.
