Info

4 Program & Services VCS Inc. is a unique non-profit family and community service agency located in Rockland County New York. Since 1970, VCS has been a leader in developing innovative programs and delivering services with a pioneering combination of expert professional staff and specially trained, caring, and committed volunteers. During 2008, the agency provided a wide range of services to individuals, families, and community groups, which include counseling, alternative dispute resolution, information and referral and advocacy, and nationally renowned training and awareness programs in the areas of domestic violence prevention and social justice. VCS is dedicated to identifying gaps in existing social services networks and responding with accessible and cost-effective programs to help people in need. The agency also focuses on raising awareness, on a local and national level, of social injustices and then developing programs to address those issues. As a result, new, targeted programs are continually being developed as needs are recognized. Some of the populations served by VCS programs and services include families in crisis; adolescents; court-ordered men who batter their intimate partners; the elderly and their caregivers; lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and questioning individuals and their families; immigrants; cancer survivors; relatives who are caring for the next generation; parents of children in special education; and individuals with developmental disabilities. Professional populations that are served by and collaborate on agency programs include schools and school administrators; other social service agencies; public-policy makers; the courts; local and national organizations; elected officials; businesses; and institutions. Agency funding comes from government grants, donations, fundraising and service fees.
All of the various community services and programs are provided in Rockland County with selected programs offered in other locations including: Sullivan County, Orange County, Westchester County, and four boroughs in the City of New York. �� VCS Clinical Services Counseling Program Adolescent Services Parenting Classes—English and Spanish Divorce Services Services for Older Adults & Their Families Relatives as Parents Program and Kinship Care LGBT Clinical Services Employee Assistance Program Services Cancer Support Program Positive Alternatives to School Suspension VETS for VETS �� VCS Community Change Project Community Commitment to End Domestic Violence New York Model for Batterer Programs LGBT Affirming Community Services Racial Justice Initiatives Training and Educational Workshops and Institutes �� VCS Center for Conflict Resolution Community-Based Mediation Special Education Mediation Lemon Law Arbitration Program Conflict Resolution Programs Conflict Management in the Schools Program Surrogate Decision Making Committee Student Advocacy Program Eldercare Mediation �� Volunteer Recruitment, Training & Supervision VCS welcomes members of diverse religious and ethnic communities and works to end sexism, racism and other forms of oppression VCS is an LGBT affirming agency.
