About us

Auburn Youth and Family Services was established in 1976 as the Auburn Project, a non-traditional means to meet the needs of Auburn’s youth. The focus of the Auburn project was the prevention of drug/alcohol abuse through education and intervention. Over the years, the programs expanded. In 1991, the agency’s name was changed to Auburn Youth and Family Services to reflect this growth and expansion of services. The services of AYFS encompass the treatment of the entire family. The strength of our programs and services is prevention and early intervention with families in need.
