Our Story

The Youth Crisis Center (YCC) has been a foundation of support for children and families in Casper and surrounding areas since 1984. As a private, not-for-profit agency, we are dedicated to providing emergency shelter, crisis intervention, group and therapeutic services to youth in need. Furthering our commitment to nurturing and guiding young lives.

Our journey has been marked by the incredible generosity of the Casper community. In 2013, we proudly opened the doors to our newly constructed building, a project made possible through the success of our Capital Campaign. This modern facility now houses all of our services, enabling us to better serve the youth and families who rely on us.
