NCO Youth & Family Services would like
to announce presentations that are available to the community.
NCO is a not-for-profit, United Way agency that has been serving
youth and families in Naperville, Lisle, Woodridge, and Aurora
for over 30 years.
The staff at NCO have put together a list
of topics that we feel are important issues for people in our
community. Each topic can be tailored to meet your groups needs
and interests. We hope to give people a better understanding about
youth and family issues, as well as address concerns and questions.
If you are interested in a presentation
for your group or would like to know more about our programs,
please call NCO at 630-961-2992
