OSWEGO, NY – Representatives from a number of Oswego County’s human services agencies will host an Oswego County Youth Program Forum on November 4 at the McCrobie Building, 41 Lake St.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with the program starting promptly at 9 a.m.
Open to anyone interested in learning about the many services and programs that are available to youth in Oswego County, the Youth Program Forum will provide youth service providers with an opportunity to share information on their programs while learning about other youth programs that exist in Oswego County.
“The Youth Forum is a perfect example of the synergy that Oswego County’s human services agencies have when it comes to delivering services that focus on helping children and youth succeed,” said Executive Director of the United Way of Greater Oswego County, Patrick Dewine.
Executive Director of the Oswego City-County Youth Bureau and co-chairperson of the event’s planning committee, Brian Chetney explained that the format and the location for this year’s Youth Forum has changed.
“The new format and location will make for a much more inclusive forum. Rather than hosting a number of independent workshops, this year’s Youth Forum will offer attendees the opportunity to hear every presentation. They will not have to choose one presentation at the risk of missing another, said Chetney.
Representatives from each participating agency will discuss the services their youth programs offer, how to access the programs, and the positive impact these programs have on the youth of Oswego County.
Additionally, there will be an information area where attendees may learn more about many of the other youth services available.
Participating agencies include:
– The Child Advocacy Center

“The Oswego County Youth Program Forum is an excellent opportunity those that work with youth to come together to learn more about programs that aid youth and families in Oswego County. It’s also a chance for the participants to network, questions, and get to know their peers better,” Chetney said.
