2016 Annual Report • Administration • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />43 <br /> <br />Northeast Youth and Family Services <br />Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS) is a non-profit, <br />community based social service agency that has been in existence since <br />1976. Their mission is to transform lives today and create a better <br />tomorrow for youth, families and our community. This is accomplished <br />through a continuum of services that include mental health counseling <br />and youth development programs. The primary population served is youth ages 5-21 and their <br />families, but they do also provide services to all ages. <br />Through their main office in Shoreview and a satellite office in White Bear Lake, they work <br />closely with local school districts and municipalities to help youth and families in the northeast <br />metro area develop the skills and fortitude to resolve issues in the present and reach their <br />potential in the future. <br />NYFS provides a variety of services to the residents of St. Anthony. A commonly used service is <br />their Senior Chore program that matches youth and adults with seniors who need help with <br />household tasks to remain living independently in their homes. NYFS also provides mental <br />health counseling to all ages and is recognized as a regional provider of mental health day <br />treatment services for middle and high school aged youth. They are certified by the State to <br />receive third party insurance for services offered. They also provide diversion services to first <br />time youth offenders and their families that help youth make positive choices and avoid further <br />involvement with the criminal justice system. Because of NYFS’ partnership with St. Anthony, <br />most services are provided regardless of cost to the residents of St. Anthony. <br /> <br />Historical Society <br />To collect, preserve, and disseminate historical knowledge about the City of St. <br />Anthony Village <br />Recently the Historical Society has recorded many interviews.
