Projects We Support
AskBYS.org
The Tomberg Family Philanthropies have funded the askBYS website for several years. The website is a place where adolescents can access information on a myriad of topics, anonymously contact a counselor or doctor, and make an appointment for our therapy services. Questions asked to the counselor or doctor are answered by local therapists and MDs. This allows us to reach youth who are unable to meet us in our physical space, and give youth a place to receive personalized answers to their questions.
Support Dates: March, 2012– March, 2017
