Youth Support Services (YSS) operates as a committee within the Twin Falls Optimist Club, addressing the immediate need for low-cost basic provisions for children and youth in our community. Each year, we assist nearly 300 young people by providing winter boots, shoes, socks, backpacks, and school supplies.

We support children who have been displaced from their homes with clothing, pajamas, warm blankets, bedding, and personal hygiene necessities. Additionally, the Optimist Club donates and sponsors prizes for area high school drug-free and safe alternative graduation celebrations each year. Community fundraising efforts and generous local contributions financially support the YSS program.
