Consolidated Youth Services

What Consolidated Youth Services does

Consolidated Youth Services, Inc. (CYS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1979 and headquartered in Jonesboro, Arkansas, that delivers intervention, residential, and educational services to at-risk youth aged 10-18 across the 2nd and 3rd Judicial Districts of Northeast Arkansas. Its service portfolio spans three pillars: community-based outreach (casework, parent groups, day services, substance abuse prevention, interstate compact supervision), residential care (emergency shelter, boys' and girls' facilities with a combined 31 beds, and two therapeutic group homes housing up to 22 boys in the Sexual Rehabilitation Program), and education (on-campus high school credit and GED programs delivered by certified teachers). The sexual rehabilitation offering, developed jointly with the University of Arkansas Medical Center in 1996, is a specialized niche licensed by the Arkansas Child Welfare Board.

CYS is funded exclusively through contracts with the Arkansas Department of Human Services, principally the Division of Youth Services (DYS) and Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS). It holds the exclusive community-based services contract for the 2nd and 3rd Judicial Districts covering 10 counties (Craighead, Greene, Poinsett, Mississippi, Crittenden, Clay, Randolph, Jackson, Sharp, and Lawrence), and operates outreach offices in most of those counties. Referrals are generated through a community-led GTM motion across schools, law enforcement, juvenile courts, social workers, and self/family referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with a government contract-reimbursement model. CYS has been COA-accredited since 2019 for juvenile justice case management, therapy, A&D counseling, and residential services.

The organization operates 51-100 staff under Executive Director Lori Clements, who has been with CYS since 1988 and currently serves as 2024-2025 president of the Arkansas Youth Services Provider Association. Operations are supported by a Board of Directors and delivered from a main campus at 4220 Stadium Blvd in Jonesboro plus satellite outreach offices. There is no disclosed app, digital platform, or technology product; the offering is fundamentally human-delivered social services.
