The grant recipients were approved by the Broome County Legislature in its December session.
“The Broome County Youth Bureau is delighted to obtain these funds from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. These funds will help Broome County continue the mission of the Association of New York State Youth Bureaus to promote the physical, emotional and social well-being of youth and families in Broome County,” Woidt said in the release.
