Concho Valley Home for Girls was founded for girls from troubled homes: to protect them, provide for them, teach them, and love them. We still do that—but now we do the same thing for young people of both sexes, from newborns through adolescence and young adulthood. To have the chance that every child deserves, every child needs a family. At the Girls Home, adolescent girls living together with responsible adults learn to solve problems without violence, develop trust, and acquire new skills—like a normal family. At the Children’s Shelter, boys and girls removed from their homes are safe and cared for while a permanent placement is found for them. For many, it’s the only safe place they’ve ever known, and when the time comes they’re reluctant to leave. Officially, a child becomes an adult when he turns 18--but to succeed, each must become able to support himself, form healthy relationships, get an adequate education, and participate in his community. Our Transition Center offers current and former foster kids aged 16 to 26 the kind of support ordinary families give their own children as they prepare for and cope with the challenges of adult life.
