Taking Time to Give Thanks

For five decades, CYS has been working tirelessly to uplift youth and families, to advocate for equity within our systems, and to transform our approach to youth behavior through restorative justice practices.

This work could not have been accomplished without the collaboration of youth, volunteers, community leaders, funders, and many more.

On October 29, 2025, CYS hosted a Gratitude Gala to celebrate the collaborative efforts that have taken place over the past 50 years. Click the images below to learn more about how we are celebrating.
