DCHS envisions a community where all of Alexandria’s children and youth succeed today and tomorrow. The Children & Youth Master Plan (CYMP) establishes long-term, community-wide priorities for youth and the specific action steps necessary to realize those priorities through the coordination, alignment and delivery of effective services to all Alexandrian children and youth from birth to 21 years-old and their families.
