Welcome to the United Methodist Youth Home (UMYH) April Awareness Month! As we journey through the season of Lent, a time of reflection, sacrifice, and renewal, we are reminded of the importance of serving those in need. At UMYH, this commitment is our daily mission.
Lent provides an opportunity for us to consider how we can contribute to the well-being of others, and this aligns perfectly with the work we do at UMYH. We provide a safe haven and transformative programs for young people facing significant challenges, offering them hope and a path toward a brighter future.
Understanding the Need: Sandy’s Story and Beyond
The stories of young people like Sandy, Rose, Daisa, and Calla, which you can read about in our previous blog posts, underscore the critical need for UMYH. Sandy’s experience, moving through numerous unstable environments, highlights the vulnerability faced by many at-risk youth in our community.
As illustrated by the testimonials, UMYH provides more than just a place to stay. We offer:
- Mentorship and Guidance: Like Rose, our youth receive personalized support to navigate adolescence and build life skills.
- Educational Support: As with Daisa, we meet each student where they are, offering tailored educational programs to help them achieve their goals.
- Therapeutic Intervention: For youth like Calla, we provide one-on-one support to address anxiety and other challenges.
- Comprehensive Programs: Our Residential Treatment Program, Day Education Program, Truancy Intervention Program, and Aftercare Program cater to diverse needs, with services like those listed above, ensuring holistic support.
The Impact of Your Support:
The success of UMYH relies on the support of our community. During April Awareness Month, we want to emphasize the profound impact your contributions have on the lives of young people. Your generosity, which will help to support our 2025 campaign, enables us to provide mentorship, guidance, educational support, therapeutic intervention, and so much more.
How You Can Help:
- Donate: Your financial support makes a direct impact.
- Volunteer: Share your time and talents to enrich the lives of our youth.
- Spread Awareness: Share our mission with your community.
This April, join us in celebrating the resilience and potential of the young people we serve. Together, we can create a brighter future for those who need it most. Thank you for your continued support of the United Methodist Youth Home.
