Youth Attention Center of Mecosta, Osceola and Newaygo

The Youth Attention Center (YAC) is a non-profit agency that provides intensive, outreach case management, temporary shelter, and after-care services for the at risk-youth of Mecosta, Osceola and Newaygo counties in West/Central Michigan.

We are a voluntary, free of charge, confidential service that offers outreach case management, crisis intervention, temporary shelter, and life skills building to youth and their families.

YAC works with other State and County agencies to assist families in crisis. Our staff also work with area schools to identify and assist at-risk youth who are coping with situations that put them in peril of running away, becoming homeless, and experiencing academic failure. Our case workers meet one-on-one with youth and families to provide case management and advocacy services.
