Since 1968, when we have seen an unmet need and youth struggling in Central Oregon, we have added programs to help them. We now have seven separate programs, each providing a spectrum of services. We are the largest social services organization helping youth in Central Oregon.
Central to all of our programs is the idea that our thoughts and beliefs influence our choices, and our choices define our futures. If we can learn recognize unhelpful thoughts and mistaken beliefs, we can choose a brighter future.
Links to our programs are below, or see an overview here.

Partners in Building Brighter Futures: Making a Difference for Youth in our Community
The work we do at J Bar J Youth Services is only possible because of the generosity of our community. Every gift – whether from an individual, a business, or a foundation – helps facilitate positive change for youth to become good community members, good employees, good partners, and good parents.
Our donors and sponsors are true partners in this work, and we couldn’t do it without them. Their support strengthens our programs, fuels new possibilities, and reminds us that lasting change happens when a community comes together. We are deeply grateful for the commitment and care they show, year after year.
Basalite Concrete Products has been building strong foundations – both literally and figuratively – since 1953. Family-owned and based in values that guide every decision, Basalite believes a company’s true character is shown through its actions.
Their support of J Bar J Youth Services is one of those actions, and it speaks volumes. Basalite makes a difference for youth in our community!
We are deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment and the difference they help us make every day, we can’t say thank you enough for incredible partners like Basalite.
