As we look to celebrating the 45th year of the United Methodist Youth Home in 2024, our organization has grown and evolved in many ways. We have added programs, extended reach, and served more and more at-risk youth in our community each year. In reflection of the great work done in the past, and looking toward our future—we felt it was time for a change. We have refreshed our brand to reflect who we are today. 

The colors of Navy Blue symbolizes trust, honesty, and reliability. Gold symbolizes success. These are the core values of UMYH to help at-risk youth become responsible and productive members of our community. 

The symbols of a pencil, heart, and house represent not only our programs, but what we strive to be for our youth. We strive to be a shelter for our residents, and a safe environment where our youth can drop their problems at the door and know we care about them. We strive for life-long learning and to teach every youth in our programs and services the skills needed to be successful as adults. Lastly, we strive for all of our staff, and youth, to have a heart full of compassion, empathy, and understanding for those around them. 

We are also excited to introduce our new website, which we believe tells our story more clearly. 

If you use the United Methodist Youth Home logo anywhere in your materials, please assist us in updating your materials with our new logo. We would be happy to send any files you may need. Please email spowell@umyh.com Thank you!
