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.
If you are in urgent need of help, please call our 24-hour crisis hotline: 845.279.2588
This wild/domestic hybrid turkey came to the Paul C. Kupchok Wildlife Center as a baby, and he has been right at home ever since. When the bird was tiny, students visiting him in the wildlife classroom loved watching the chick respond to whistling to come get a mealworm treat. As the turkey grew, he moved to his own outdoor habitat to live as he would in the wild.
