·       Individual, group, and family counseling – with emphasis on family reunification

·       Life skills training including: computer tutorial, basic cooking, personal hygiene education, and interpersonal skills training

·       Recreation programs

·       Outreach targeting both youth who may need assistance and other public or private agencies that work with youth and families

·       Aftercare services for youth after they leave the shelter

·       Overnight shelter for up to 12 youth ages 10 to 17 years old (male and female)

·       24-hours a day, 7 days a week admissions
