Helping Putnam County Youth

Many young people are looking to connect with peers and adults who can help them feel supported, find a safe and productive way to spend some free time, or access necessary services. Green Chimneys’ Community Based Services provides Putnam County youth a place to go, an outlet for emotions, and opportunities to enjoy organized activities.

Located in the Village of Brewster, our Community Outreach Center is the primary location for youth-focused activities. The Center offers free after-school, evening and weekend activities; intervention and prevention programs; and counseling services.

Intervention and crisis services for teens, particularly at risk, include street outreach and a temporary youth shelter.

Programs are free of charge and available throughout the year. Special programming is offered during summer months and school vacations.

Beetle the Appaloosa

Beetle, an Appaloosa horse, joined the Green Chimneys equine program from a private farm in Connecticut. He has a diverse background in multiple riding disciplines; his previous owner kept him in excellent condition through long-distance trail riding. Beetle also had basic training in the sport of Dressage, as well as jumping and other competitive events. Appaloosas are known for their beautiful spotted coats and typically have a small build.
