Youth Haven is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3, organization with a single purpose of meeting the needs of disadvantaged youth - free of charge. So many kids today live in the midst of difficult and tragic circumstances, including abuse, neglect, poverty, gang violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and even the knowledge that a parent is in prison. These kids are desperate to be loved and to find hope for the future. Sadly, if no one reaches out to them, they will never see beyond what they know in their own, bleak world. That's why we are committed to making a difference in their lives. With campuses in Michigan and Arizona, we have designed our year-round on-site programs, Kids' Klub after school activities, Caring Clowns hospital outreach, and follow-up efforts to show hurting kids that God loves them, people care about them, and there is hope for the future! Because we work with children who do not have the means to pay for their stay at Youth Haven, one of our founding principles was to provide these experiences to disadvantaged children free of charge. Youth Haven was established in 1968 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that does not receive state or federal funding. We rely on the generous hearts and financial love gifts of friends like you to help us meet the needs of the children we serve
