The Ithaca Youth Bureau (IYB), a public multi-service agency established 1948, provides a broad variety of recreation and youth development programs to promote the health, happiness and well-being of all youth and families in the greater Ithaca area. We serve more than 7,500 youth annually, aged 0–20 years, through a wide array of programs including: sports leagues, lessons, tournaments, a tot stay-and-play program, mentoring programs, theater workshops, job and skill training and subsidized employment for youth, academic support, recreation mainstreaming services, after school programs and summer camps. In addition to recreation and after school initiatives that serve the general youth population, our youth development programs do strategic outreach to economically disadvantaged and under-served youth.
