Youth Advocate Services is a non-profit agency in Columbus, Ohio that provides foster care, adoption services, Help Me Grow, and home-based and school-based mental health counseling services. I am a current foster parent with this agency, and they are the best!! Their clinicians are knowledgable, friendly and go out of their way to help you. As a foster parent, I would choose any other agency to work with! Their foster parent training classes are very informative. The entire staff is very dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children in our community. They do so much for our kids and we want them to be recognized for the amazing service the provide!
