We are a private, nonprofit, multi-service child welfare agency providing services to emotionally disturbed, dependent and delinquent children and their families. Children are referred for services by county children and youth, mental health and juvenile probation agencies. Depending upon each specific situation and the program, children remain in care for varying amounts of time. Some children stay in our Emergency Shelter for only a few days, while others in our residential treatment and foster care programs have an average stay of one year.
Most children return home.
In those situations where home is no longer an option for a child, adoption or independent living alternatives are sought. There is a growing need for foster parents in York, Pennsylvania and its surrounding counties. Most of our children are referred through York County agencies. We do, however, serve over 30 counties in central and southeastern Pennsylvania. Since we are a growing agency, job opportunities are periodically available to interested and qualified applicants.
