The EYSO Non Profit Organization

Eudora Youth Service Organization

The EYSO acts as an "umbrella organization" and non profit support group for all Eudora youth groups, such as the Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers and 4-H Clubs.

Duane Smith (Treasurer)

It provides an aluminum can re-cycling program for Eudora and the nearby town of DeSoto as well as financially assisting the groups with grants of money as needed.

The board consists of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and a representative from each member group. It is a non profit organization under the State of Kansas.

Building Fund

Back to top.

The Eudora Youth Service Organization has a building fund set up for the purpose of someday building a new facility designed to serve as a meeting/storage place for the various groups. (It currently uses rooms in a former elementary school in Eudora.)

The Eudora Youth Service Organization would welcome any donations large or small. All donations go directly to help the various youth groups, since they have no paid staff. It was founded 36 years ago and depends on donations and volunteer members to operate.
