What is the Youth Services Center for Madison Middle School?

The Center is one of the 12 Family Resource/Youth Services Centers in Madison County and was formally called Richmond Youth Services Center. We have served Madison Central High School & Madison Middle School since 1991 as a part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA).

Youth Services for MMS revolves around the concept of helping ALL students have a safe, healthy, happy and positive educational environment, assuring success in their educational needs and goals.

MMS Youth Services will help our children and their families by building a positive and trusting relationship with them. We then build on this level of trust and bridge any gaps of services between our students, families, schools and community agencies. Together we can make a positive difference in the lives of our youth.

MaryAnn Haynes, Director and Woody Schat, Family Services Worker staff the Center. Together we can move mountains.
