BCMW Community Services is now welcoming summer youth programs interested in partnering to support summer programming for youth across the four-county service area of Bond, Clinton, Marion and Washington counties.
Through this collaboration, BCMW will support programs that help deter at-risk youth from crime, juvenile delinquency, substance use, and teen pregnancy, while promoting personal responsibility, integrity, discipline, and respect.
According to BCMW, partnering with the organization means:
- Serving local youth through summer activities, reading programs, and/or summer feeding programs
- Financial support to assist an average of 300 youths (approximately $33 per youth)
- Collaboration with a trusted community agency focused on youth development
- Flexibility — partner programs handle their own advertising and participant recruitment
Applications can be found online at bcmwcommunityservices.org or on the BCMW Community Service Facebook page. Applications can also be picked up at the BCMW office at 909 East Rexford Street in Centralia. The application deadline is April 15, 2026.
