Youth Villages is a national leader in children’s mental and behavioral health, bringing help and hope to tens of thousands of children, families and young people across the United States every year. Founded in 1986, the organization’s 3,600-plus employees help more than 36,000 children annually in 23 states and D.C. For more than 30 years, we have worked to find solutions using proven treatment models that strengthen the child’s family and support systems and dramatically improve their long-term success.  

Since 1994, our organization has tracked every child who completes a program and has recorded consistently high success rates. In 2018, 86% of the children are still living successfully at home with their families 12 months after completing their program. 

Youth Villages has been recognized by the Harvard Business School and U.S. News & World Report and was identified by The White House as one of the nation’s most promising results-oriented nonprofit organizations.
