WEST TENNESSEE ADVISORY BOARD Desiree Allen Alex Boggs Preston Butts Matthew Gabriel John Goode Arianna Poindexter Leslie Tate Christopher Vescovo Angie Ware
If you would have asked anyone reading a year ago, as we were entering the pandemic, if they thought we’d still be dealing with the effects of it in April 2021, I’d imagine that answer would be no. For the development team here in West Tennessee, our plans changed as the months wore on in 2020. What didn’t change was the need for our critical services throughout the region. The care we provide for children with emotional and behavioral problems, their families and young people “aging out” of foster care became ever more important. We did so much, under difficult circumstances, because of you – our donors, volunteers and partner organizations. In this issue of New Heights, we share stories of how supporters continued to help make a difference in the lives of the youth and families we serve. From continuing to mentor to putting an emphasis on fundraising during a pandemic, your tireless devotion to our mission makes a huge impact on our kids. Thank you for your continued support of our work. Your help means youth in our programs can defy the odds and achieve success.

GLORIA OVERCOMES TRAGEDY WITH THE HELP OF YOUTH VILLAGES’ INTERCEPT Many children enter foster care because of a lack of support in a time of family crisis. Youth Villages’ intensive in-home services program, Intercept, provides support and help for children and parents that can make a difference. At 16, Gloria had already experienced enough severe challenges. Pregnant as a teen, she had been assaulted, causing her son, Donovan’s, premature birth at 27 weeks. A year later, bullet shrapnel hit her face, and she was mistakenly ... story continues on page 11

STUDIES SHOW EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERCEPT PROGRAM In 1995, Youth Villages began providing intensive help for children with emotional and behavioral issues and their families through Intercept, intensive in-home services. Over the years, the program has helped more than 43,000 children from birth to age 18 and demonstrated high success rates. Two important recent studies have further shown the program’s impact and allowed the program to receive a national rating that may make it available to more families who need it. The Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse announced recently that the Youth Villages Intercept program model is rated as “supported” after two studies from the Center for State Childhood Data at the University of Chicago’s Chapin Hall showed the program had positive impacts on the use of foster care. This means the program can be used by states through federal funding provided by the Family First Prevention Services Act passed by Congress in 2018. “This is a milestone for Intercept and Youth Villages,” said Youth Villages CEO Patrick Lawler. “More than 30 years ago, we made providing intensive help for families the center of what we do. We’re pleased that Intercept has been recognized as one of the first 10 In-Home/Parent-Skill programs in the country to receive a favorable rating.” Two separate evaluations of Intercept were conducted using data made available by the state of Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.
In the first, researchers found that Intercept reduces the chances of out-of-home placement by 53% following an abuse or neglect investigation. The effect of Intercept is sustained at six and 12 months after services end. In the second, the data showed the odds of achieving permanency were approximately 24% higher for children receiving Intercept than a comparison group. Intercept provides intensive in-home services and works in all the systems that surround the child: the family, school, neighborhood and peer group. The Intercept program was launched in Memphis and became an integral part of child welfare reform in the state of Tennessee. Youth Villages expanded the model, and it is now being implemented in 13 states. The Clearinghouse was established by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct an objective and transparent review of research on programs and services intended to provide enhanced support to children and families and prevent foster care placements. It determines what services can be funded under the Family First Prevention Services Act. “The Clearinghouse is helping states identify evidence-based interventions that really work to strengthen and restore struggling families,” Lawler said. “It is a transformational moment for child welfare in this country.”

DONOR SPOTLIGHT Benjamin and Pam Clements Benjamin and Pam Clements became connected to Youth Villages in 1994 when Benjamin worked as an intern for the IT company supporting Youth Villages to implement a computer system for data collection. Throughout the process, he had the chance to work with leaders across the organization and admired the “vision and leadership each of them brought.” It made a big impact on him, and the Clements knew they 4
wanted to continue supporting Youth Villages.
What do you think sets Youth Villages apart in its work with children and families? “Youth Villages has always focused on the family, saying ‘the family is the best place for the youth.’ Other organizations have gone back and forth on what’s best for youth but Youth Villages has remained consistent. The goal has always been to bring kids back to the family. If you look at an organization that has had a single goal and doesn’t change with every fade that comes every few years, that organization has a much higher chance of achieving that goal. And knowing that Youth Villages got it right the first time has always set it apart.”
Why do you personally support Youth Villages with your philanthropic investment? “We made the decision several years ago to look at the organizations we were supporting and evaluate those investments. We noticed that some organizations were inveterately causing dependency for those they served. We realized that an organization takes on a tougher assignment to graduate these people out of their services. It is a less selfish thing to do as an organization. Youth Villages graduates individuals because the point isn’t how important Youth Villages is, it’s how important that individual is. That individual deserves the chance to be independent one day.”
Why should someone consider becoming more involved with Youth Villages? “Youth Villages has been consistent in its approach and methods. You know what you’re getting. They project a single vision, and they demonstrated over the years that single vision and consistent approach and methods. If someone wants to make a difference in the world around them, they should see what Youth Villages is doing. What they are doing right now is what they were doing 15 years ago, and it will be what they’re doing 15 years from now. And it’s effective. There’s also accountability there. Youth Villages imposes a self-accountability, [that many] other organizations don’t.” 5
IREM MEMPHIS CHAPTER’S SUPPORT SOARS IN 2020
From left to right, Katie Jones, Youth Villages director of development; Melissa 2020 president
The Memphis Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) has supported Youth Villages for more than 20 years. From volunteering at events to holding fundraisers to support our mission, their belief in the work we do is unwavering. “Youth Villages provides a unique safety net for children, young people and families,” said Shellie Moses, executive council member for IREM. “That net includes providing shelter, support and help to those most in need in our community. Many of the kids who get help at Youth Villages are from our own area, so we are a real estate

‘community’ helping those most vulnerable in our community.” In a year like 2020, IREM chose to lean in and continue to support our work by hosting its annual golf tournament, following safety guidelines and protocols. “The need at Youth Villages is always there, during a pandemic or not,” Shellie said. “In many cases, the pandemic magnified the need for Youth Villages because kids couldn’t go to school, church or other places of refuge. While the 2020 golf tournament had some new COVID-19-related challenges, our obstacles paled in comparison to what

some families face day in and day out.” The 2020 tournament raised more than $20,000 – a 19% increase over the 2019 tournament. Every December, IREM typically hosts an annual holiday party with a silent auction benefiting Youth Villages. As the COVID-19 numbers began climbing, IREM shifted to an online giving campaign benefiting Youth Villages’ Holiday Heroes program. Once again, they exceeded their goal and raised more than $10,000.
Overall, IREM raised more than $30,000 to support our services, which equates to six young adults receiving the life-changing services of LifeSet here in our community. “The work that Youth Villages does is impactful and important,” Shellie said. “Wherever there is a need with Youth Villages’ kids, there is a spot for volunteers, fundraisers or groups to help. For individuals and groups alike who want to help, Youth Villages warmly welcomes and creates many spaces and places for us to be of service.”

THE 2020 VOLUNTEERING NORMAL: VIRTUAL VOLUNTEERING “COVID-19 prevented our usual interactions, but we were determined to find ways to safely engage with the kids who may be especially vulnerable to isolation created by the pandemic.” - Daphne Large, CEO Data Facts
Volunteers are an integral part of our residential experience at Youth Villages. There are several ways to engage in our volunteer program – from mentoring to spiritual life to company/group activities – the opportunities are endless. In mid-March 2020, we shifted our volunteer support to include virtual opportunities. Our mentors began “spending time together” with their mentees over Facetime or Zoom. We learned from our corporate partners ways in which they were keeping their staff engaged virtually and mimicked those activities for our group volunteer opportunities. Data Facts employees have always looked forward to opportunities to engage with the kids and families around holidays like Valentine’s Day, Easter, back-to-school, Halloween and the holidays. They weren’t going to let distance keep them from staying involved!

Success Story Continued from page 2
...charged with a crime. After the incident, the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services referred Gloria and her mother to Youth Villages for help. When Family Intervention Specialist Brittany Sherman first met Gloria, the teenager’s family -her son, her mother and brother -- were living in a small motel room in a sketchy area of town. Paxton, 12, was still enrolled in school, but Gloria hadn’t gone back to school after ninth grade. Sherman began meeting with the family at the motel, three times each week to provide intensive help and support. They began to work on safer housing and meeting basic clothing and food needs. Gloria’s mother was focused on getting a job, but it soon became apparent that she was very ill. Mom was admitted to a hospital and then to ICU, leaving Gloria and the children virtually alone. The Intercept specialist was with Gloria and Paxton when they were called to the hospital for a final consultation with the doctors. “They told us that their mother was dying, and that she wouldn’t recover.” Sherman said. “It was very hard. We went from the hospital to the DCS office to talk about where they could go.”
“She’s helped a lot,” Gloria said of her specialist. “She’s always patient and has been there through everything we’ve been through.” Gloria went back to school at Pathways, a flexible public high school, and got a job working almost 40 hours a week to help with finances. “She’s making As and Bs and wants to graduate,” Sherman said. “She’s saving for a car, because transportation is so important.” And, for Gloria, the future is coming into focus. “When I turn 18, I want to formally adopt Paxton and get a place for us,” Gloria said. She’s looking at furthering her education after high school and maybe a career in the military. “I believe she’ll do it!” Sherman said. “She’s very mature, a great young mom, and she’s cared for Paxton all his life.”
Family Intervention Specialist Brittany Sherman, left, helped Gloria, center, her brother, Paxton, right, and little son, Donovan, stay together during a crisis. They’re doing well now.
Gloria was vehemently opposed to foster care, but there was no choice that day. Sherman and the DCS case manager kept working, though, and the children were in foster care for only two nights before they were approved to live with the baby’s paternal grandmother. “She is a hero,” Sherman said. “She stepped up to take all three of the children, even though it was hard for her financially. She took them to the hospital to see their mother in the final days and stood with them when she died.” The stability of a permanent home helped Gloria in the weeks after her mother’s death, as did Intercept’s continued support. Sherman helped the children grieve and work on other things, like education and employment.
