Youth Homes

About Us

Our mission: We nurture an inclusive environment of healing through trauma-informed care for Bay Area foster youth and young adults.
Our vision: A sustainable future where youth embrace hope, discover their purpose, and develop the tools to lead fulfilling lives.

Since 1965, Youth Homes has supported underserved youth and young adults with complex mental health and behavioral challenges. We provide a broad scope of services designed to empower young people and their families to create positive, sustainable change. We weave the expertise of professionals, the compassion of our dedicated community members and the resourcefulness of our youth and families into something that can feel like magic.

But it’s not magic. It’s extraordinarily hard work for youth, families, staff, and volunteers. And that hard work leads directly to successful outcomes — healthier families, children who believe in themselves and their potential, and communities that support young people and their futures.
