Yesterday, Angie and Jamie had the opportunity to present to the Columbia City Rotary Club and share more about the work happening at the Youth Services Bureau!

They highlighted several of our programs, including Teen Court, Safe Place, and Skills for Life, and shared how YSB continues to support, empower, and create opportunities for youth and families in our communities.

A huge thank you to the Columbia City Rotary Club for welcoming us and allowing us to share more about who we are, what we do, and the impact these programs are making

🐾 YSB had a great time at CHAMPS yesterday in Columbia City!

We enjoyed coming together with other community programs and organizations, and we even had a special guest join the fun: Diesel!

We’re always grateful for opportunities like CHAMPS that bring local organizations together to connect, collaborate, and strengthen our community! 💙

Reason #1: Smartphones are changing childhood
Childhood is changing for children. Playing outdoors, spending time with friends, reading books and hanging out with family is happening a lot less to make room for hours of snap chatting, instagramming, and catching up on You Tube. With children spending anywhere between 3 to 7 hours daily in front of a screen, many childhood essentials are pushed aside for online amusement.

Smartphones don’t just consume time—they block kids from fully experiencing the world around them. When a screen is always in hand, real-life moments, conversations, and opportunities for imagination often get missed. To sign the pledge or learn more: https://www.waituntil8th.org/
