The Oswego County Youth Bureau was established by Oswego County resolution number 147 in 1974, consolidating the new county department with the Oswego County Youth Bureau that had been in existence since 1963. The mission of the Oswego County Youth Bureau is to contribute to a collaborative network of effective, integrated programs and services, to coordinate comprehensive county-wide youth and family services planning, to provide direct and indirect services and activities for youth and families, to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and the community, and to empower youth to become responsible members of society. The Youth Bureau system in New York State is supported in part with state aid from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, and the Youth Bureau and Parks & Recreation services are funded by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, Oswego County, Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation, USDA Summer Feeding, federal AmeriCorps, program sponsors, and fees. The Youth Bureau Executive Director, Brian Chetney, leads the Oswego County Youth Bureau and serves as chair of the Workforce Development Board of Oswego County Youth Committee and as the Runaway and Homeless Coordinator for Oswego County, where the Youth Bureau also coordinates services for runaway and homeless youth.
