Youngstown State University, as an
important actor in the social, economic and political life of the
Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania areas, seeks ways to better
serve the community of which it is a part.
The Public Service Institute at Youngstown State University
was created by the YSU Board of Trustees in 1985 to coordinate, promote
and stimulate public service programs and activities offered by the
University to the community. The University's investment in the Institute,
staff, resources, and facilities has yielded a range of services
that otherwise would be unavailable in this area.
At present, the Institute consists of two Centers: The
Center for Human Services Development and the Center for Urban and
Regional Studies. The Institute works with community organizations,
as well as with University departments, to facilitate the extension
of University resources into the community where they are needed.
