Licensed bilingual social workers with a specialty in working with children and adolescents provide services within Youth Enrichment Services Programs. Youth Enrichment Services meets all 20 Standards of Charity Accountability as established by the Better Business Bureau. The program’s community involvement includes the Unity Ambassador Program, where students from multiple school districts in Islip Township learn about diversity, equity, challenging bias, being an upstander to bullying, and hear from guest speakers who share personal stories of overcoming prejudice, and where students create a Unity Project Action Plan for their school and community. Youth Enrichment Services also participates in Islip Goes Purple, a month-long initiative started in 2019 to raise awareness of mental health and substance use disorder and to celebrate those in recovery, and has shared information at many related events. Nichole Schmidt was instrumental as a founding member of the Great South Bay Coalition in helping Youth Enrichment Services secure a federal Drug Free Community Support grant addressing substance use and abuse in the Bayport, Blue Point, and Sayville communities.
