Youth Homes Inc.

“Building Promising Futures with Children and Their Families”

Youth Homes Inc. is a nationally COA-accredited, private nonprofit agency that has provided supportive human services to children and families in Mecklenburg County since 1975.

Professional social workers empower children and families with skills that allow them to break the cycle of poverty, abuse and family violence; find a meaningful niche in the community; and achieve economic self-sufficiency and independence.

Out of the Shadows…Into a Promising Future 

YHI continues to be a positive turning point for children and teens that came out of the shadows of our community as “damaged, lost or forgotten.” Because of the passion, dedication and purpose of our professional staff, volunteers and leadership:

• A child has a safe place to live.
• A shattered family has been made whole.
• A troubled teen has stayed in school, out of gangs, away from drugs.
• A baby has been given a Right Start with a loving parent.
• An 18-year-old former foster youth is now in college, preparing for a     job and is on the path to building a promising future.

The Need Continues…

Every day in Mecklenburg County there are reported cases of abuse, neglect and violence. Every day, a new child enters the foster care system. Every day, YHI is providing a helping hand for over 260 children and families. Every day…

YHI partners with families to raise all children with nurturing, dignity and respect. YHI will continue to be the premier provider of supportive social services where children and families in need of help work together to take the first step in healing and to find hope to attain a more promising future.
