| Company Overview: | We provide services to keep families together and prevent youth from having to ever enter the court or state social service systems. Sadly, there continues to be a disproportionate number of minorities and lower economic status families who are forced to engage the court and state social services system in hopes of receiving help in their families. Our desire is to change this devastating and damaging cycle. |
| Mission: | YMCA Safe Place Services' mission is to accept, affirm and advocate for teens and families in crisis through programs which empower youth to reach their full potential in spirit, mind and body. |
