360 Youth Services was one of 25 not-for-profit organizations in DuPage County to receive a grant from the 2013 Spring Community Needs Grant Cycle of The DuPage Community Foundation based in Wheaton. The grant will help underwrite the counseling program for families in crisis.
360 Youth Services, located in Naperville, has been providing life-changing programs through prevention education, counseling and shelter since 1971. The counseling arm of 360 Youth Services offers counseling support for a wide range of circumstances. For families that cannot afford full payment, the grant from DuPage Community Foundation provides funding for those families. These services are life-saving in many instances.
