Company DescriptionYouth Horizons’ two residential campuses serve kids and young adults in foster care. Some need more resources than a typical foster home can provide, and most have already been placed out-of-home through a social service program. Our trained, compassionate staff provides support and guidance for our kids and youth who struggle with behaviors rooted in past trauma.
With the residential program, our aim is to provide a safe environment that nurtures restoration, faith and growth. Through our extended care for youth in need, we offer individualized treatment that addresses their current needs and long-term goals. We empower our residents with age-appropriate responsibilities and freedoms as they work to build a strong foundation.Company DescriptionYouth Horizons’ two residential campuses serve kids and young adults in foster care.
