What Connecticut Youth Services Association Inc does
Mission
Connecticut youth services association (cysa) brings together and empowers connecticut youth service bureaus (ysbs) through statewide coordination, training, advocacy, and innovation, ensuring every community has the necessary tools to support young people and their families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Connecticut department of children and families juvenile review board (jrb) support and enhancement grant provides funding to local juvenile review boards to create support and enhance the services they provide. Youth diversion teams (ydts) or jrbs are community-based diversion programs that provide early, restorative responses for youth who might otherwise be referred to juvenile court for minor violations of the law. The process aims to hold youth accountable for their behavior without resorting to legal sanctions or court oversight. Ydts aim to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline by promoting healing, connection, and opportunity over punishment.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $323k to $395k (+22%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
