Mentor a teen in our residential treatment program. All you need is a nonjudgmental attitude and a little time each month. Anyone can be a mentor and change the life of a child. The kids we serve are in need of a special person to spend time with them one-on-one and provide positive interaction. It's amazing how much your friendship can increase a child's self esteem. You will receive training and ongoing support in exchange for your time. Minimum time commitment is 12 months. Become a mentor and a friend!

Fifty-nine boys and girls recieve 24-hour intensive treatment, individual, group and family therapy, state certified special education, psychiatric consultation, comprehensive medical evaluation and care, recreation therapy and opportunities for spiritual growth. We also offer programs such as Family Focus Treatment, Transitional Living, Independent Living, Emergency Crisis Shelter, and have an Aging Out program. We offer strength based treatment.
