We are excited to announce that YouthCare has officially been recognized by the Council on Accreditation (COA)!
This independent organization sets the gold standard for social service organizations, and COA accreditation affirms YouthCare’s ongoing commitment to excellence.
For 50 years, YouthCare has been a beacon of hope for countless youth. Our programs and services empower young people to overcome homelessness and build brighter futures. Our dedication to serving youth shines through in every aspect of our work, and COA took notice during our accreditation review.
This two-year process required self-evaluation, documentation of our processes, and site visits. COA noted YouthCare’s commitment to continuous improvement, and our individualized support plans for each young person we serve. In every aspect of our work, YouthCare is meeting and exceeding COA’s exacting standards.
“The Staff’s passion for mission is seen in every program and department. YouthCare team members routinely go above and beyond to ensure positive outcomes for the young people they serve.”
