Youth Bureau

The City of White Plains Youth Bureau is unquestionably one of the best youth agencies in the State of New York. The Youth Bureau services more than 6,000 children and young adults each year. Close to 800 children per day are enrolled in our after-school programming which we expanded to include grades K through 8.
Our award winning Youth Bureau continues to expand its outreach to our community, for example:

The Youth Bureau is now open on Saturdays from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., offering a number of activities for our children and young adults.
Step Up! Youth Development Program is a new initiative which offers at-risk youth positive support, training, team building and increased communication.

Our Youth Employment Program continues to be a huge success. Our employment fairs are business driven, and our students dress as though they are being interviewed for a position with a Fortune 500 Corporation. Currently we are providing more than 600 employment opportunities per year to White Plains students.

Our Entrepreneur Program realized international acclaim in 2006, as White Plains’ own Laura Delucia was a National Foundation for Entrepreneurship Award Winner. Laura won for creating Healthy Hearts, a business that creates heart healthy treat baskets for individuals with heart disease. Congratulations to you, Laura.
We are also the recent recipient of a United States Tennis Association Grant of nearly $3000 dollars. The purpose of the grant is to provide tennis education and instruction to underserved White Plains youth.
