Creating a Bright Future for Youth

For more than 140 years, Boys & Girls Aid has been finding permanent, loving families and ensuring lifelong stability for children and youth. 

Foster Care Programs 

We equip foster parents with the training and support needed to meet the needs of children who have spent extended time in care. 

What We Do

Each year, Boys & Girls Aid’s programs support hundreds of young people by meeting them where they are and providing comprehensive, individualized support at every stage of their development. 

Child-Centered Adoption

We help create loving families through open, ethical and child-centered infant and foster care adoptions. 

Emergency Youth Shelter Care

We operate Safe Place, Washington County’s only emergency overnight drop-in shelter for homeless & runaway youth ages 12-21.

Housing Services

We connect transition-aged young people facing homelessness or housing instability with safe, affordable housing, along with the skills and resources needed for long-term stability. 

Help us ensure all children have families.

Your support will help Boys & Girls Aid find lifelong connections for all children. Stopping the cycle of abuse and neglect is a worthy investment
