Youth Services & Family Resource

Our mission is to enhance students' abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: 

• Early learning and successful transition into school

• Academic achievement and well-being

• Graduation and transition into adult life

• Referrals are sometimes done by email, phone calls or a visit to the YSC office. 

• A student can refer him/herself to YSC, a parent can make the contact, a staff member or someone in the community may contact the YSC to assist a student and/or the family of a student. 

• Often a student will need services and ask for staff permission to see the coordinator. If the coordinator is not available at that specific time, the school's front office can contact her. 

Any student. Personal information may be needed by the student and family members in order to best serve the student. Some of the information that a person gives may need verification from other community sources. Not all cases are handled the same. There is an YSC office at each school.

Samantha Sexton is the YSC Coordinator, Wayne County Middle School

Is information shared with the coordinator confidential? 

ABSOLUTELY! Although, if the coordinator feels a student may be harmful to themselves or someone else, appropriate action will be taken. 

PLEASE keep in mind that the Wayne County Youth Services Center is available to help students, not to discipline or get them in trouble. If the YSC cannot help with a particular case, then the YSC will assist in getting the help from another source. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call, email or come by the office.
