We are a fully residential program offering a home to children who have nowhere to live. Our full-time staff of 50 dedicated individuals includes skilled instructors, teachers, pastors, psychologists, social workers, guidance counselors, music teachers, house parents, monitors, cooks and support personnel. They work very hard to anticipate and satisfy all of the children's needs. In addition, local universities, clinics, hospitals, and health professionals donate their time and services to make sure each child's needs are met. When they are not in school, many options for recreation exist.
Many students take music lessons or enjoy playing an instrument during their free time.
Two buses take them on outings and camping trips. In addition to preparing the children for successful futures, our goal is that each child may enjoy a happy childhood filled with rich and memorable experiences. Each student is trained in a vocational specialty tailored to individual interests and the needs of the marketplace. They also learn a variety of other skills, receiving diplomas in an average of four technical courses. In their last year at the City of Youth, the youngsters participate in internships in the city.
