Description

New Beginnings Youth Homes, Inc. is a non-denominational Christian residential home that provides a loving environment for troubled young people. These homes offer these youths a supportive family atmosphere with strong positive leadership. Preliminary results suggest that young people in these “Teaching-Family Model” homes have fewer contacts with the police and the courts, lower dropout rates, and improved grades in school.

We provide a Christian environment along with a structured learning atmosphere, all geared toward motivating young adults to make the right choices for their futures. The program utilizes Christian guidance and counseling strategies designed to assist young adults in self-understanding, fostering the growth of a well-developed value system through discipleship, and development of personal responsibility through life-skills coaching (budgeting, nutrition, interpersonal skills, job interviewing skills, etc.). We facilitate insight into each youth’s emotional well-being while preparing them for successful adulthood.
