YOUTH PROGRAMS – The Youth Programs carried out in the Counties have been exciting. We want to provide opportunities for children who may not have them otherwise. We were able to obtain a discounted family pass for one year with the Louisville Zoo and 47 families took advantage of the opportunity. 13 families received swim passes or lessons. 1 received an opportunity for 4-H camp.

Thank you to all the staff for their hard work with the various programs operated by Community Services.
