Message from the Board of Trustees

As Levittown moves towards the new millenium, the Yours Ours Mine Community Center has become an integrate part of this community. Having been established in 1964, the Center was located in a store-front on Center Lane. The agency has continually sought to meet the various and diverse human service needs of the community and helped to improve the quality of life. Those needs, like Yours Ours Mine itself, have continued to change and grow dramatically over the years.

As you browse through this website, you will see the variety of programs and services offered by the agency to date. Originally serving primarily the youth of the community, Yours Ours Mine now offers an extensive array of human services for the entire family from pre-school age to the golden years.

Many working parents and their children benefit from the Nursery Day Care, Universal Pre-Kindergarten, Before and After School Child Care and the Beginning Teens Project that is offered. Hundreds of senior citizens are provided with a daily nutritious lunch and on some Saturdays with a special event, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a variety of socialization activities. Additionally, there is individual and group counseling for chemical dependency abusers available to all family members. Rounding out the Community Center's menu of services are those focused on Youth Development, which includes a wide variety of educational, crisis intervention, non-chemical dependency related individual, family and group counseling and leisure time activities designed to teach and empower adolescents to develop decision making skills.

As Yours Ours Mine continues to meet the needs of the community, an active working partnership with community members remains a key ingredient to the Community Center's success as we move forward within the twenty-first century. You can support the Community Center in many ways:

(1) by having your employer to make in-kind contributions and grants to the Community Center,
(2) by supporting fund raising events,
(3) by inclusion of YOM in your personal planned giving or a bequest and
(4) by becoming a member of the Friends of YOM organization.

We, as the Board of Trustees, invite you to join with us, as we continue to meet the challenges of providing direct and human services to the citizens of Levittown and surrounding communities.
