As stated through Covenant House s mission, staff recognizes God s providence and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out His covenant among ourselves and those children we serve with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment calls us to protect and safeguard all children Covenant House has five principles integrated into their services. First, immediacy in which youth are welcomed without question or cost. Covenant House serves youth in need unconditionally. Thirdly, Covenant House provides a structure for youth to find direction and support.
Every youth has a plan in which they help create to achieve their goals.
Next, Covenant House fosters value communication in which the staff tries to convey life enhancing values while entering into a relationship founded on trust, honesty, respect and love. Finally, every youth has the choice to enter into the life enhancing relationship freely and have staff help them to make informed decisions about their future.
