Our Team

“Providing Pathways of Change” is more than just our mission statement, it’s the mantra of our professional and dedicated staff. Since 1903 we have helped children and families overcome devastating traumas and subsequent negative feelings and behaviors by creating positive social skills, behaviors, and lifestyles. The goal: Give children with little hope for their futures the ability to experience success and they will fulfill their dreams!
