East Arkansas Youth Service

The East Arkansas Youth Services Agency appears to be out of business in terms of no listings of available resource information for interested parties, specifically subject youths.

If the agency is currently in operation, my suggestion is to develop an official website as an introduction to appropriate resource information. If it's not in operation, perhaps interested parties should be directed to the nearest youth services agency for any needed assistance.

Another suggestion is to encourage interested parties to consider operating a non-profit youth organization in Marion, AR; for instance, to service those youths and young adults who may be in the process of aging out of the foster care system. A number of young people within this population are parents, and to my knowledge and experience, there are limited to no resources or services available to these families.

Thank you for allowing me to submit my comments in review.
