About the Office on Youth and Human Services

The City of Colonial Heights Office on Youth and Human Services serves the general citizenry by working to develop and improve the community assets that assist families in raising children who are responsible, law-abiding, and self-reliant. The office identifies the needs of youth and their families and is a referral agency to appropriate services.

Partnerships

The Office on Youth, guided by the City Council-appointed Youth Services Commission, focuses on partnering with the schools, civic groups, 12th District Court Services Unit, Health Department, Social Services, mental health providers, and other city departments to create opportunities for enhancing services for our youth and families.
