T
he Children and Youth Services Division (CYS) operates nine afterschool locations for K-8th graders in the city. In the 2018-19 school year, with assistance from the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at UGA, CYS will revisit its mission statement and its program design and goals through a strategic planning process involving input and feedback from internal and external stakeholders. Through this process CYS hopes to develop a renewed, relevant vision in line with the needs and interests of the children and families we serve. The City of Decatur has a rich history dating back to 1823. Part of that history includes the evolution of afterschool programming – a brand new field in the 1980s. The city has operated afterschool programs in Decatur since 1981. In 2007, Children and Youth Services developed a mission statement and designed a logic model with specific goals and outcomes identified. (You can find our logic model on the About page of our website at decaturga.com/cys). continued on page 15
