Valley Youth House (VYH) empowers and strengthens the lives of children, youth and families through inclusive programming that builds resilience and fosters growth and independence. Our Montgomery County office provides Independent Living Services to youth between the ages of 14-21.
The Valley Youth House Mentoring Program, (Montgomery County) is interested in connecting with individuals who possess a strong passion for working with youth from a wide variety of backgrounds in the role of a MENTOR.
This is an exciting opportunity to positively shape and impact the life of a deserving young person. This is also a great opportunity to network with other professionals who are currently or would like to be a part of our community of Mentors.
Mentors are encouraged to participate in match events and meetings with youth on a bi-weekly basis. Mentors will recieve formal and informal trainings on VYH best practices and must complete complete application process.
Evening, and weekend opportunities are available to best support the schedule of the mentor and the mentee.
For more information, please contact Shawn Mack, Mentoring Program Coordinator, (smack@valleyyouthhouse.org)

Mission Statement
Valley Youth House empowers and strengthens the lives of children, youth, and families through inclusive programming that builds resilience and fosters growth and independence.
Description
We began in 1973 as a single shelter in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. Valley Youth House was open day and night, ensuring that vulnerable, abused and homeless young people in the community had access to shelter and counseling. Even then, we represented more than just a roof and beds; we were an organization committed to building a solid foundation for every individual who came through our doors.
That same dedication still drives us today, as we have grown from that first house in the Valley to over 100 residential sites throughout Pennsylvania. Though our reach and programming has vastly expanded, our mission remains the same. We educate, empower and strengthen the lives of children, youth and families, and build skills that foster growth and independence.
For over forty years, we have been proud to be there for two generations. We stand ready to be there for the next generation as well. Our doors remain open - we just have more of them now.
