Youth Services of Tulsa will provide residential placement for up to 18 months (extendable to 21 months under extenuating circumstances) and comprehensive supportive services including basic life skills training, educational and job attainment opportunities, and counseling to assist youth in transitioning to self-sufficiency and stable independent living.
