Youth Villages Program Report 2011
25 years
of helping
children and families
live successfully.
Dear Friends, This year is quite a milestone for Youth Villages: our 25th year of helping children and families live successfully. It’s been 25 years full of laughter, tears, challenges, joy, struggles and growth – all the things that naturally come with children and families. Most importantly, we have helped more than 66,000 children since Dogwood Village merged with Memphis Boys Town to become Youth Villages in 1986. In the coming year, we will help 18,000 more children and families in a growing service area that spans 11 states and Washington, D.C. Many things have changed in our first 25 years, but some things have stayed the same. The principles of Re-ED, the Re-education of Emotionally Disturbed Youth, continue to guide our work with children. Helping these children continues to be a personal calling for our staff. And our children today – just like those we helped in 1986 – love their families and want to be home. This report highlights just a few of the children and families we’ve helped this year, along with the measurements of our programs’ success. Reading these words in our children’s own voices is a moving and fitting way to commemorate our 25th anniversary milestone; they are why we’re here doing what we do every day. In this 25th year of our mission, we offer sincere thanks to the more than 2,500 dedicated Youth Villages staff members who do the very hard, sacrificial work that helps our kids and families realize their dreams. And we thank our many supporters and partners who make our work possible. Without you, Youth Villages simply couldn’t exist, much less have a thriving mission. For a more detailed look at Youth Villages’ history and a timeline of milestones along the way, visit www.YouthVillages.org. Our progress is chronicled there from the first 80 children we helped in two locations in 1986 to the more than 18,000 kids and families we helped from more than 60 locations this year. We join the voices of our children, with deepest gratitude, to thank you. And we look forward to helping even more children and families in the coming year.

& Melinda Gates Foundation, the study will evaluate the difference between Youth Villages’ TL program and usual services available in the community. Participants are interviewed periodically to track their progress.
This year, Youth Villages established a name and a set of tenets to describe our philosophy and approach to helping our country’s most troubled youth. We call it Evidentiary Family Restoration . To learn more about EFR, visit our TM
website, www.YouthVillages.org. The Five Core Tenets of Evidentiary Family Restoration 1. Evidentiary Family Restoration treats children and families simultaneously. Evidentiary Family Restoration is built on the evidence that sustainable long-term success for troubled children is most

needs for families and residential program enhancements like spiritual life.
2. Evidentiary Family Restoration requires measurable long-term outcomes. For too long, the national systems that serve troubled children and their families, including the children’s mental health, child protective and juvenile justice communities, paid little attention to the long-term outcomes of children. Warehousing troubled children creates troubled young adults. Using an EFR approach with their families, however, significantly increases the likelihood that they are still on positive trajectories even two years after discharge. Tracking every child and documenting successful outcomes 12 and 24 months after discharge are critical components of EFR. 3. Evidentiary Family Restoration is sustained in the community. Families vastly outperform states or service providers at raising children. EFR keeps children in the home whenever safely possible, and ensures out-of-home placements – including foster care – are rare, short-term, actively inclusive of the child’s family, and used only out of urgent necessity… all with the ultimate goal of returning the child to a safe, permanent and supportive home as soon as possible.

evon was one of eight children who had lingered in Pinellas County, Florida’s child welfare system the longest. Never able to live with his biological parents, Devon was taken into
foster care as an infant and grew up in foster and group homes. Youth Villages was given 180 days to help Devon and the other seven children get on track toward permanent homes. Devon’s family intervention specialist, Mandy Carr, immediately began supporting Natalie, a Florida assistant state attorney who had become Devon’s mentor. Natalie hadn’t planned to adopt but was open to the possibilities. In March, Devon’s adoption was finalized. Natalie is his mom.
“We were at an adoption event, and he was sitting

“At first, I didn’t like it. I didn’t think I needed to be there. But then, the more and more I complained about it, the more I began to realize I needed help. Then I began to miss my family and friends. It motivated me to get better and get out.” - Jordan
“It turned out to be a real positive experience for us. Jordan shared what he learned with his siblings and has had very good progress reports since. I can’t say enough good things about Youth Villages. They really administer to the whole child. Normally, you’d never know how much goes into helping a child, but I saw so many people giving time and

cope with anger and frustration. He learned about impulse control and personal boundaries. Much of his coping training involved athletics. He got better. Denise, his grandmother, visited each week to participate in his therapy and was kept informed of Jordan’s progress. He focused on getting better. Jordan completed the school year with a 3.77 GPA.

“My behavior has changed a lot ever since I entered Youth Villages. In the past, I used to be really unsocial and keep to myself. I didn’t talk to my mom, really didn’t want to go places. Now, I talk to my mom more, go places, and I don’t keep to myself anymore and I’m very social. My attitude changed. At first, I was like, ‘Youth Villages is so stupid,’ but now, I see I really did need it. I look back and think, ‘Why was I like that?’”

Tierra “The home visits were so important–we took turns driving Tierra to see her mother on our own time. Without them, reunification with her mother would have been much more difficult. As a result, the family has learned to express their love for each other and spend positive time together. Her mother walks Tierra to school each day, so they use that time to talk and continue to build their relationship.”
Andrea Becker, Youth Villages family intervention specialist
ierra couldn’t wait to go home on the weekends. Youth Villages’ Family Intervention Specialist Andrea Becker helped Tierra’s mother, Yolanda, create a home where both mom and daughter could
thrive. Tierra was getting rides from Youth Villages counselors from her group home to her mother’s house. Yolanda worked on structure and discipline in the home and following through with rewards and consequences for behavior. Most importantly, Yolanda and Tierra worked on communication. Now Tierra’s not visiting on weekends – she’s home.

“Samantha is the most mature and responsible 18-yearold I’ve ever met. She and her fiancé are not only caring for their own daughter, 1, but Samantha’s two siblings.
