Leveling the Playing Field for Children in Our Community Leveling the Playing Field for TM Children in our Community Annual Report 2019 A Letter From Our Chief Executive Officer For more than 54 years, Youth & Family Services (YFS) has addressed some of our community’s most pressing issues impacting children and families. To be responsive to these needs, YFS has expanded services, developed programs, and implemented well- researched, innovative solutions to address root causes of issues. The breadth and depth of our programs have proven to be exceptionally successful in increasing the well-being of children, birth through age 18. It’s an honor and a privilege to present this report highlighting some of our accomplishments from this past year. Many of these achievements were made possible because of the wonderful support and involvement of concerned individuals, orga- nizations, businesses, and foundations. It is the vision of Youth & Family Services that children in western South Dakota will develop healthy bodies, inquiring minds, wholesome relationships, compassionate hearts, creative spirits, the convic- tion to stand up for themselves and others, and the courage to build a better society. This vision is a roadmap for creating a healthy community where people live in harmony and children grow, learn, and thrive. Over the past year, YFS has made great progress toward accomplishing this vision. The most noticeable is construction of our East Adams Street Campus Expansion. This is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2020. Much effort has been placed into designing an addition that promotes optimal learning for children, especially during the years of significant brain development. With almost 90% of brain development occurring by the age of five, exposing young children to quality learning experiences is critically important to their devel- opment and future academic and financial success. The second most significant brain development occurs as youth enter adolescence. This can be a challenging time for youth as their bodies undergo enormous changes, social interactions get complicated, and life becomes tremendously more challenging and confusing. Mentor- ing, coaching, and exciting programs provided by YFS will assist youth as they transition into adulthood. Having adequate programming space makes it possible for YFS to provide these opportunities to children and families in our community. As you read through this year’s annual report, I hope you are proud of the part you’ve played in impacting children. As part of this great community, we share a responsibility for the future of our society. By exercising compassion for our neighbors, we’re building a foundation for prosperity while inspiring others to stand up and make a difference.

    Tightening the Opportunity Gap TM for Youth in our Community Annual Report 2018 A Letter From Our Chief Executive Officer For more than 53 years, Youth & Family Services (YFS) has been a leader, advocate, and innovator in child and family ser- vices. The breadth and depth of our programs have proven to be exceptionally successful in increasing the well-being of children, birth through age 18. It’s an honor and a privilege to present this report highlighting some of our accomplishments from this past year. Many of these achievements were made possible because of the amazing involvement and support of concerned individuals, organizations, businesses, and foundations. In addition to expanding its outreach services, YFS has also been able to keep administrative and fundraising costs below 13%. YFS board members and staff continue to work with parents, educators, law enforcement, other non-profit organizations, and community leaders to ensure the services we provide are effectively meeting the needs of children. Our nine programs deliver comprehensive outreach to underserved youth and families by providing high quality early childhood education, preschool, child care, afterschool and summer youth development programming with academic support and enrichment, intensive case manage- ment for at-risk youth, father involvement and parent engagement, parenting education, mental health counseling and trauma treatment, nutrition and health advocacy services, and violence and substance abuse prevention. Although our services have been a critical component in helping many families become capable, caring, and contributing members of the com- munity, we know more needs to be done. Our programs are filled to capacity, we have waiting lists, and our facilities are overcrowded.

BHSU has a significant impact on the Spearfish community and the regional economy, according to an economic impact report commissioned by the Board of Regents. Based on Fiscal Year 2016 data, Black Hills State generated about $258 million in annual economic impact to South Dakota from a state investment of just under $9 million. An estimated 6,006 people live in our state because of BHSU’s presence and the accompanying economic activity. BHSU directly supports about 437 full-time jobs in South Dakota and more than 2,059 full-time jobs from the university’s resulting economic activity.
