As one of the largest private non-profit providers of residential treatment for children who are wards of the state, Youth Village shelters and provides treatment for over 300 children a year in ten Group Homes and 50 Treatment Foster Homes throughout Utah. Also provide Families First, our unique in-home program for families with troubled children, as well as Parenting for Success Classes for the public.
The cornerstone of the Village’s treatment philosophy is the profound value of the family in the emotional well-being of a child. The primary goal of treatment is to restore healthy parent-child relationships whenever feasible. Youth who have religious inclinations will be encouraged to be active in the faith of their choice. Youth will be taught about nutrition, exercise and hygiene. Programs also teach troubled children to behave considerately, respectfully and responsibly.
