Welcome to the Dartmouth Youth Commission. This resource is intended for parents, teens and children within our community. Visitors can learn more about our services, learn about support groups, learn how to report suspected abuse and locate additional sources of support for themselves and other family members.
The Dartmouth Youth Commission is a youth and family service agency that provides support, referral, and resources to residents of the Town of Dartmouth. The Commission began in Dartmouth in 1968 as a collective response for the community to the growing needs of the Town's youth.
