Field trip to Wheeling and Youth Services System, Inc.

Shelley, Ken and I went to visit Youth Services System, Inc. in Wheeling today. We were going to sit in on a conference call in preparation for the Runaway and Homeless Youth monitoring visit next week for YSS's grants. While there, we toured the detention center, the Samaritan House and the new building (The Hazel Atlas Building) that will house the agency's administrative and community services offices. This was a great opportunity to see many aspects of one of our close partners in youth services in the region. Ken will be going back up next week when the monitoring visit is held, to be able to represent our sub-grant transitional living program, and our host home model. The new administrative building for YSS is huge and full of great potential for that organization, and we are hoping to negotiate an office for a "satellite" foster care and adoption office for CHS for the northern panhandle there.
