THE SOURCE OF SPOKANE

We are a non-profit residential program for youth in need of guidance, restoration & love. We aid teens in crisis through relationships with caring adults. Our sta?? and mentors strive to build positive, sincere, and life-altering alliances with at-risk youth with the goal to equip and assist them in their spiritual, occupational, and educational journeys while guiding them to reclaim a sense of self respect and dignity. Ultimately, our goal is to assist them in realizing their potential, and that there is a purpose and reason for their lives.Our Youth Homes provide 24-hour residential care at four separate locations and education for youth 12 18 years of age who can benefit from a structured program designed to promote self-discipline,a strong work ethic, and responsible behavior. We strive to work in partnership withparents and/or child placement agencies to accomplish what is best for the child. We firmly believe that the family is the ideal place for a child to grow up. The Source Youth Home is dedicated to helping the residents resolve their problems and find spiritual and emotional healing, and, hopefully, strengthen the bonds with their own families.The facilities provide a safe environment where the residents are motivated to become actively involved in their own lifestyle changes designed to increase productivity, practice appropriate behavior, and resolve family and group conflicts. While at The Source Youth Home, residents are taught basic life skills, interdependence with others, and respect for authority. As a part of thetreatment program, residents are expected to assist with therapeutic farm-oriented work as well as the maintenance and upkeep of the facility. Also, residents are assigned responsibility for the care of their own rooms and common living areas shared with other residents.We have 2 homes in Washington running Behavioral Rehabilitative Services (BRS) programs.
