Residential Homes
 With only six youth per home, day to day life can focus on the development of healthy skills for life. Youth will have the opportunity to assist staff in preparing meals, shopping, and overall upkeep of the home. Weekly chores will be shared among staff and youth and a weekly allowance will be available to each youth, along with opportunities to earn additional money for special events and, hopefully, a savings account. Staff members transport students to public school settings and are available to help out in the school settings both on a formal and informal basis, depending on what has been developed with the local School District. After school staff are available to help youth with their homework, enjoy recreation activities and facilitate group meetings. Youth with specific counseling or support activities (A.A., N.A. etc) are able to participate in community settings as their individual supervision plan indicates. Weekends are set for formal recreation activities that are planned by youth and staff during the week. Time for relaxing and helping out around the house are integrated into the weekend times as well. Families are encouraged to participate with staff and youth in some activities and are always welcome at the dinner table.
