Our Programs
At Boys & Girls Aid, we believe that all children deserve loving, caring adults in their lives and a safe place to sleep at night. To see this happen, we offer a variety of programs.
- We find permanent homes for children through adoption.
- We provide temporary safe places to stay through shelters and foster homes.
- And we run one of the area’s most unique and successful mentoring programs.
In each of our programs, we believe that children play an integral role in planning their own futures. Staff employ a positive youth development philosophy and work with each client to see that their particular needs are met.
