Suppoortive Services for Youth - Guilford Education Alliance

Guilford County 

Supportive Services 

For Youth 

Resource Guide 

Fall 2008

Dear Community Members, 

The Guilford County Youth Supportive Services Resource Directory is a comprehensive list of 

community agencies in Guilford County which offer programs and services to youth and their 

families for a wide range of needs. This resource directory has been created to be used by 

parents and youth service providers (such as school administration and teachers, social workers, 

guidance counselors, and school resource officers) to make referrals for youth and families 

with unmet needs. 

Many of the services listed originated from United Way's 2-1-1 Information Referral database. 

This resource directory was originally developed by the Resource and Needs Subcommittee of 

the Guilford County Disproportionate Minority Contact Project (DMC). DMC is a community 

initiative focused on identifying ways we can reduce the number of African American youth entering 

the juvenile justice system. A grant that supported the DMC initiative was awarded to 

the UNCG Center for Youth, Family, and Community Partnerships through the North Carolina 

Department of Crime Control & Public Safety, Governor's Crime Commission. 

Currently, this directory is updated and maintained by the Guilford Education Alliance and 

housed on its website www.guilfordeducationalliance.org. Other organizations are encouraged 

to link it to their websites and to make additional copies of this booklet as needed. 

Funds for the printing and distribution have been provided through a grant that Guilford Education 

Alliance received from American Express. 

While the services listed within this directory were current when published, services and contact 

information listed may become outdated. For the most updated version, please to go the 

Guilford Education Alliance website, or for further information or to make a suggestion, please 

contact Guilford Education Alliance at info@guilfordeducationalliance.org or (336) 841-4332. 

Thank you to the many organizations and individuals who have made this resource available to 

the community!
