The department of Youth Services provides young Chickasaws across the U.S. with the opportunity to participate in a number of camps, events and programs. Summer academies, such as the Aviation and Space Academy, the Summer Arts Academy and the Entrepreneurship Academy, allow students to further their education while out of school.

The Chickasaw Nation is very concerned with the safety and welfare of Chickasaw children. That is why programs exist for adoption and foster care, child support and child welfare.
