OUR MISSION:
To provide a safe and nurturing environment for youth from unlivable family situations. To provide youth assistance in preparing for the difficult task of transition to independent living.

We believe that children who have suffered abuse and neglect need to experience a kind of normal family living to carry into their adult lives if they are to become good marriage partners and good parents themselves. By living together with responsible adults, learning to solve problems without violence, developing trust, and acquiring new skills, our residents gain a chance for a better future.

 

Established in 1968 with the goal of providing a safe and stable environment for girls aged 10 to 17 who are unable to live in their own homes, Concho Valley Home for Girls, Inc., has grown into an agency with five programs providing a continuum of care for these and other at-risk children, with a strong emphasis on helping them receive the best possible preparation for adulthood.
 

Long-term residential services for girls aged 10-17 who can for some reason not live with their natural families are provided by the Girls Home, accommodating up to 22 residents.  The Children's Emergency Shelter offers short-term care for up to 13 boys and girls aged 0-18 while their permanent living arrangements are decided upon.

 

For older teens, assistance in embarking on independent living is provided through Transitional Living Services (TLS), a program conducted under a contract with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.  Our agency also is a provider for the Workforce Investment Act Youth Program (WIA), which helps set at-risk youth on the path to success in the world of work.
