Volunteers of America provides high quality, innovative services for disadvantaged and disconnected children and youth.  Through our caring staff and dedicated volunteers we ensure the social, emotional, and academic development of young children, and empower older youth to be physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy and ready to enter adulthood.  Our programs provide a continuum of care and support for young people through prevention, early intervention, crisis intervention, and long-term services.
