Our Services
Services
Our work is rooted in the idea of home-grown hope
Made possible by providing support to youth and their families within their homes and communities.
By extending our services to the entire family, we’re able to keep a large percentage of youth at home and out of residential programs and group homes. This leads to a higher rate of school achievement, and offers a much greater chance for youth to reach their potential.
If home to them is the basketball court, we’ll be there.
If it’s the mall, we’ll be there.
Wherever these children & youth feel at home, we’ll meet them there.
As we build trust and relationships, we bring the family in.
