HISTORY

The Youth Services Council of Routt County was created in 1999 and was the first step towards bringing together interested community members representing agencies, organizations, youth, and consumers to discuss and implement a model of collaboration of services among youth-serving agencies serving ages 8 to 18.  In 2002, the Routt County Human Resources Coalition implemented the “Family and Adolescent Resources” Council and “FAR” guide in order to promote integration and collaboration among organizations to provide comprehensive services to Routt County youth and their families. Still, community members saw potential for an even greater outreach to youth and family in Routt County.

​

In 2009, youth-serving agencies in Routt County reformed as the Routt County Youth Services Coalition (RCYSC) to continue the primary goals and missions of earlier youth service initiatives. Today, RCYSC aims to foster connection collaboration, and visibility among families and organizations to enhance youth services in Routt County. We achieve this by linking families to supportive resources, promoting coordination among youth service organizations, and organizing and sharing accurate information.
