For over 30 years Newtown Youth and Family Services has been providing mental health and community support services to the Greater Newtown area. NYFS continues to provide after school activities, support groups, social groups for children with autism spectrum disorder and programs for pre-school, youth and teens as well as provide financial assistance for counseling to children and families.
“NYFS is honored to be able to collaborate with the Newtown Pride to enhance the services we provide for the community,” said NY&FS Executive Director Candice Bohr. “There is no better way to develop a team partnership like that of Newtown Pride and NYFS than watching highly skilled teams work together for a common goal.”

“Newtown Youth & Family Services continues to be an integral part of our community – and this event will assist in ensuring peer to peer mentoring programs continue. In the few years Newtown Pride has put on this event, they have raised more than $10,000 for local organizations to ensure their mission pushes forward. We’re excited to add to that tally to ensure services continue to be available for those who need them most,” said Newtown resident Kyle Lyddy who is coordinating the event with Newtown Youth & Family Services and Newtown Pride F.C.
