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.

Llama

Llamas, like Alexa, are intelligent, inquisitive, and can learn simple tasks after just a few repetitions. The wool produced by a llama is very soft, versatile, and lanolin-free and, each Spring, Green Chimneys students help sheer our sheep and llamas and the wool is made into yarn which is for sale at our country store! Llamas eat grass, hay, corn silage, alfalfa, and grass roots, and adults can drink 3 gallons of water a day. Your Sponsor-an-Animal gift will help keep Alexa and all the Green Chimneys Farm & Wildlife Center animals happy & healthy.
