BUILDING HOPE: A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

At Youth Haven, we believe in the power of hope, healing, and transformation. Every child who walks through our doors deserves a safe space where they can rebuild their lives, find stability, and dream again. With the launch of our Building Hope capital campaign, we are inviting you to join our family in creating a brighter, more secure future for the vulnerable children and teens in our care.

This campaign is a pivotal moment in our 53-year history, enabling us to expand and elevate our programming in profound ways. With your support, we will:

• Grow therapeutic services to address the complex emotional and mental health needs of children who have experienced significant trauma.
• Expand educational programming through a state-of-the-art education hub, library, and makerspace, ensuring our youth have the tools to thrive academically and personally.
• Elevate food, nutrition initiatives and life skills with spaces designed to promote healthy eating habits, address food insecurity, and teach valuable life skills such as food preparation.
• Provide more robust family reunification and sustainability programs to strengthen bonds and foster lasting change for families working toward reunification.
• Expanding enrichment activities and opportunities for the children and our community.

This new building is more than bricks and mortar—it is a symbol of hope and renewal. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of each child who calls Youth Haven home. Thanks to the incredible generosity of MHK Architecture and Lynn Lombardi of LDL Interiors, who are donating their services, this building will stand as a testament to what our community can achieve together.

To ensure that Youth Haven continues to be a beacon of hope for generations to come, the Building Hope capital campaign will raise $16 million for construction and $4 million for an endowment fund for ongoing maintenance.

We are deeply grateful for the loyal support of our community, and we are humbled by the trust you place in us to care for these children. Please join us in creating a space where every child feels seen, supported, and empowered to dream big — let’s take this transformative journey together.

Together, we can provide not just a safe haven, but a foundation for brighter futures.

With heartfelt gratitude,
