Annual
Report
A Message from the President and Board Chair
Throughout our history, NYFS has thrived because of its winning formula of talented and hard
working staff, dedicated volunteers and supporters, and strong community partnerships. This
formula for success helped us endure the worst economic climate since the Great Depression.
During the past year we remained strong and supportive as we
saw clients, businesses and other organizations struggling to sur-
vive. We continue to focus on providing quality services knowing
we are needed now more than ever and that these challenging
times will improve our organization and position NYFS to be
stronger as things improve. 2010 Board Chair David Norrgard,
NYFS President & CEO Jerry Hromatka
NYFS is proud of its innovative spirit which enables us to provide cutting edge services to
youth and families. This year we received a generous commitment from a local resident to
implement a pilot parenting program for parents of young children. With Ramsey County
support we expanded our Diversion program to work with more challenging and younger
children. Upon completion of our new Discovery Center, we revamped NETS, our day
treatment program, and now can focus on the distinct needs of both middle school and high
school students. We use the Discovery Center during non-school hours to initiate an intramural
program for youth not involved in organized sports, and an after school tutoring program for
junior high youth. We’ve turned this innovative spirit inward to reduce administrative expenses
through increased efficiencies and cost saving actions. This allows us to rein in expenses
without cutting back on services.
NYFS was a strong organization going into this tough economy and thanks to the hard work of
staff, volunteers and community partners, we will survive and come out stronger to serve the
needs of our community today and in the future.
David L. Norrgard Jerry Hromatka
Strength in Numbers
Since our start in 1976, NYFS has grown and changed to meet the emerging needs
of the communities we serve. Today, we touch the lives of over 4,000 youth, families
and seniors every year through our broad range of programs and with the help of
our partners in the civic, business and non-profit community.

NYFS Programs and Services
Outpatient Mental Health Clinic
Our licensed, professional staff serve youth, adults and families from diverse
cultures, ethnicities and lifestyles. Whether it is addressing an immediate crisis or
managing a long-term mental illness, our staff are dedicated to helping families and
individuals thrive. Therapists work with clients to help them discover their strengths
and overcome barriers to success such as depression, anxiety, family conflict and
behavioral problems. Couples counseling is offered for same-sex, opposite-sex,
married and unmarried couples. We also offer:
• Medication management services for
children and adolescents to aid the
therapeutic process when needed
• Educational and support groups for
parents and teens
• A Speaker’s Bureau for the community
NYFS is one of the few places where youth as young as age two
can receive therapeutic services tailored just to their stage of
development. We accept all insurance plans; mental health services are also
offered on a sliding-fee scale to the uninsured. Interpreters are available to assist
non-English speaking clients.
Community Social Work Services
Our licensed social workers do a broad-based needs assesment with clients. Based
on those needs, goals are set and our social workers help connect clients with
community resources. While our social workers are always there to help our clients,
our common goal is to help clients do as much as they can for themselves and build
on their existing strengths. We serve families with children in the North St.
Paul/Maplewood/Oakdale, Roseville, Mounds View/New Brighton and White Bear
Lake school districts.
Northwest Educational and Therapeutic
Services (NETS)
NETS is a daily, year-round day treatment program that offers educational and
therapeutic services to youth struggling with severe mental health and behavioral
problems. Youth are temporarily transferred from their home school, enrolled at
NETS and participate in a treatment model that combines academics and therapy.
Because of the intensive services offered through NETS, these youth are able to
overcome personal barriers and develop skills to manage their
mental illness.
NYFS is one of the few places
in the metro area specializing in

whenever possible
In 2009, NYFS completed construction of the Kay Andrews
Discovery Center, a 10,000 square foot multipurpose facility that
enhances our services by giving
NETS students a much-needed
space for physical and mental
wellness activities. Students are
thriving in the new space and we
are seeing a decrease in
behavioral issues now that
students and staff have more
space in which to meet their
treatment objectives.
Community Service Programs
At NYFS, we know that youth learn best by doing. That’s why our programs engage
youth and families in community-based settings that promote skill development
through experiential learning and support. Our Community Service programs include:
• Discovery Initiative • STEP Tutoring Program
• Diversion • Summer Camps
• Mentoring Plus • Youth Employment Training
• Penny Pinchers Thrift Store
• Senior Chore
Community Benefits
The success of a community is defined by the success of the people
who live in it. As the lives our our youth improve, so does the quality
of life for everyone around them. The immediate benefits are easy to
see: decreased property crime, fewer families in crisis, higher
graduation rates and an improved learning environment in our local
classrooms.
In the long term, these same youth who succeed in getting their lives back on track
become the next generation of community leaders, educators and volunteers in the
very communities that supported them in their youth.
The Kay Andrews Discovery & Event Center
The Kay Andrews Discovery & Event Center has been in operation at NYFS
since September 2009. In addition to increasing the social and academic skills of
NETS youth, the Discovery Center also serves as an
affordable space for community events.
NYFS has a long history of collaboration with
school, business and civic organizations and is
committed to ensuring that this space is an asset for the entire community.
The impact of the Kay Andrews Discovery Center
continues to grow:
Over 100 seniors benefitted
• 70% of kids involved in our after-school
