Youth Services
The DuPage Township Youth Service Department was established to support and provide Youth Services to its residents. The Youth Department is dedicated to offering educational and recreational programs that provide guidance, direction, and encourage healthy life shaping decisions. Our goal is to provide and expose the youth to programs that are fun, that offer prevention services, safety awareness and build self-esteem and self-confidence.
