I was appointed to manage a small youth residential

So I knew what the children would be like.
But the business of running the center was new to me,
and the responsibilities sometimes seemed overwhelming. It seemed as if

It was a great time, and without those who helped me, Youth Villages surely

community and corporate partners is critical. Only with your help can we
reach more children.
Many years ago, I didn’t know Youth Villages would be what it is today. When
I began, I just wanted to help children, and with like-minded folks on my
side, we were able to help more every year. Now we have clear evidence that
our Evidentiary Family RestorationTM approach is the most effective for our
country’s troubled children.
With your continued help, I know Youth Villages’ future path will be to help
more children and families who need our life-changing care.

Getting Rodney the right things
I
ntercept family intervention specialists provide services to the family, rather than just to the youth, meeting
with families an average of three times weekly and remaining on call 24/7. We tailor services to meet each
family’s needs, while measuring treatment progress through ongoing assessment and review. Specialists
collaborate with other providers, case workers and courts to formulate a collaborative treatment plan. Small
caseloads – four to six families – allow our family intervention specialists to focus on the individual needs of
each child and family we serve.
The difference was
staggering.
Even people outside the home noticed the change for the better.
Here’s Rodney playing football,
sitting in class without disrupting, being respectful to his teachers and his
mother. But mom remembers the near
decade before this change.
“He could go from zero to 10 superquick,” his mother, Kimbella, said.
“People told us it was him just being a
teenager, or it was just him acting out.
But I know Rodney, and it wasn’t him.”

Rodney also has a mentor and plans
to participate in track and field. At 15,
he still has issues from time to time,
but it’s different – now he’s just being a
teenager.
“Youth Villages was the
best thing that ever happened to him,” Kimbella
said. “And I don’t know
where I’d be without
Youth Villages.”
“They are a great family,” Zaneta
said. “Once Rodney saw the amount of
support for him, he began to hold himself accountable and he’s accomplished
a lot in a small amount of time.”

Ashley Furniture donates beds
When the Youth Villages family first moved into
their new apartment, they needed beds. Their
previous apartment became infested with bed bugs,
and they had to dispose of all their bedding.
Ashley Furniture provided three twin beds,
frames, box springs and mattresses for the family. The Beds for Kids Program provides beds to
children of single-parent families who are without.
Since 2006, Beds for Kids reports they have provided more than 950 beds to children.
A ‘new’ car!
Thanks to a generous donation, Bianca, above, through the help of Youth
Villages, was able to purchase a much-needed car. Bianca is participating
in the YV Scholars program.
