Youth Bureau
The Lewis County Youth Bureau Advisory Board was established February 5, 1997. It was created by resolution and adopted by the Lewis County Board of Legislators. The board is made up of members from government, non-government, the community and student representatives from Lewis County. The main role of the Youth Bureau is to allocate funding from the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the County to youth serving programs and organizations.
