Volunteering with Youth Homes is a great way for your company or church group to get involved in the community while making a difference in the lives of traumatized foster youth. Youth Homes currently has four residential facilities that are currently looking for volunteers for a general clean-up day. Other group opportunities include general gardening and landscaping projects.

Description
Founded in 1965 by citizens concerned that troubled youth were consigned to the criminal justice system, Youth Homes has assisted thousands of children. We began by providing group homes with in-home counseling. We are the oldest, continually operating children’s residential program in Contra Costa County. Faced with new challenges, public agencies turned to us to create new and innovative programs to serve foster children in emergency situations. Today, we provide a comprehensive system of care--we assist traumatized youth through crisis shelters, private foster home placement, residential care facilities and community based behavioral counseling, which helps prevent out-of-home placement.
Youth 17-20 leaving our care receive ongoing counseling via Aftercare Services. Our Mentor Program volunteers provide reliable adult connections for residential and emancipated clients. The Youth Homes organic garden program provides job training and fresh healthy food for all the group homes.
