Essential volunteer support for Youth Homes comes from the Youth Homes Auxiliary. This group of over 150 wonderful volunteers has been our primary benefactor through the years, providing gifts and festive events for the residents on their birthdays and holidays, ensuring that houses are equipped with all household necessities. In addition, the Auxiliary donates funds for residents at their emancipation: to find apartments, purchase home furnishings, or to provide academic scholarships. The Youth Homes Auxiliary is always looking for new members! Click here to learn more.

In the spring of 2000 Youth Homes implemented a mentoring program. These mentors, who are volunteers from the community, work one-on-one with our residents. This extraordinary group of volunteers models successful career and family lifestyles and provide an excellent example of a future full of hope and happiness. The mentors sometimes follow the resident beyond their stay at Youth Homes, helping the child to feel a sense of continuity, and allowing the mentoring relationship to develop into a long-term, meaningful friendship.

Our Board of Directors meets at least ten times per year. This group of volunteers provides ongoing fiscal oversight, strategic planning, and quality assurance. The Board of Directors are experienced in non-profit management and bring a high degree of community accountability to Youth Homes. The board is comprised of educators, accountants, and leaders in business and professional services. To learn more about the members of our board, click here.
