The Boys' Group Home is designed to transition youth from the structure of residential treatment to independence from services. A dedicated team assists and trains the youth and families in necessary life skills needed for maintaining productive relationships and lifestyles.

While residing at the Group Home, youth attend and participate in public schools, school sports and extra-curricular activities, GED programs, vocational programs, work full or part time, and volunteer within the community.

The committed team of staff takes a very active role in assisting youth with homework skills and teaching laundry, menu planning, cooking shopping, housekeeping, budgeting and personal appearance skills.

Residents work toward their goals of returning home, adoption, or independent apartment living. Those seeking apartment living work closely with a transitional case manager and staff of the Supervised Independent Living Program in preparation for independence.

Through numerous activities and advocacy programs, families are encouraged and supported in the involvement of treatment and reunification of the youth. While residing at the Boys' Group Home, several young men have graduated from high school, received their GED, began college, obtained employment and maintained productive, successful lifestyles.
