Army Child, Youth & School Services delivers the promise of Army Family Covenant to ensure excellence in schools, youth services and child care. CYS Services fulfills the promise through programs that reduce the conflict between Soldiers’ mission readiness and their parental responsibilities.
A Soldier's life and workday are affected by irregular and extended duty hours, deployments and temporary duty assignments. This creates constant challenges for Soldiers and their Families who need child care or youth programs, as well as school support services. These challenges continue to grow as mission requirements increase the demands and stress on Soldiers and their Families. CYS Services understands these challenges and provides solutions by offering quality child and youth programs to meet the needs of Soldiers and Families. CYS Services also works with schools to mitigate the stress that results when a Soldier-parent is deployed or when students must switch schools because a Family relocates.
“CYS Services are needed more by our expeditionary Army now than at any time in its history,” said Jerry Haag of the CYS Services Directorate of the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command. “We know CYS Services is highly valued by our Families during times of deployments.” The goal of Child, Youth & School Services is to assure Soldiers’ peace of mind so they can concentrate on their missions -- knowing that their children are in safe environments with trained and caring professionals.
