BAYS Kids 

Originally founded as Bay Area Youth Services, Inc., BAYS Florida was organized and chartered as a Florida Not-For-Profit Corporation on April 19, 1982. The agency, founded by William F. Bowman, was developed with the objective of improving the quality of life and increasing the potential of Florida’s youth. Since that time, BAYS Florida has provided high quality and professional youth and family services throughout the State of Florida. Over a 35+ year history BAYS Florida has grown into a multi-faceted organization with 15 office locations and over 100 employees.

Over the years, BAYS Florida has provided a variety of delinquency prevention, diversion, and intervention services, with our strength and expertise mainly demonstrated in juvenile justice case management and delivery of psychoeducational classes.
