YSB History:

The San Marcos Youth Service Bureau (YSB) is a private,

non-profit agency that has been in operation since 1975. 

Originally a pilot project of Southside Community Center to address the inhalant abuse problem in the San Marcos area,

the agency’s focus soon broadened to include prevention of

all delinquent behaviors. 

In the past several years, YSB has concentrated on the overall promotion of healthy youth development in San Marcos and Hays County. 

 

Who may become a member:

 

The YSB provides a free after school program to youth ages

11-17.  Any student is welcomed to join as long as space is available.  Youth must be the correct age, must be enrolled in school and must live in the San Marcos or Hays County community. 

Our program runs Monday-Thursday from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. throughout the SMCISD's school calendar. 

We focus on tutoring, educational workshops, volunteer work in the community, outdoor learning and general prevention. 

This program is geared towards youth who would like to better their skills, interests and futures.
