The*Department of Youth Services (DYS)*is the juvenile justice agency for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We work with young people who are detained or committed and provide detention, custody, diagnosis, education, and support to young people ages 12-21. Most of the youth served are between the ages of 14 and 18. The Department promotes positive change for the youth committed to our care and has been on the forefront of de-institutionalization, in part, by providing adolescent-focused rehabilitation to youth in residential treatment. The Department of Youth Services employs staff in various professions and backgrounds to engage young people in strategies that support positive youth development. As a key members of the residential team, direct-care staff must monitor and provide on-site and immediate intervention of DYS youth in our residential facilities.
