Building Brighter Futures for Adolescent Girls
Since its founding in 2009 Guiding Our Youth (GOY) has been dedicated to transforming the lives of adolescent girls . Operating a 6-bed home licensed as a Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) by the Department of Social Services, and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) since 2017, we achieved Mental Health Program Approval in 2019. Our focus is to create pathways for healing and success through specialized programs tailored to the unique needs of adolescent girls.
