Company Overview
Youth Villages has been a national leader in the implementation of research-based treatment philosophies in the field of children's mental and behavioral health. Our commitment to helping troubled children and their families find success spans 35+ years and includes a comprehensive array of programs and services.

 

If you are looking for a positive career move where you are meeting the challenges of life and striving to make a positive difference, then Youth Villages is the place for you. We are looking for people with a strong sense of purpose and focus to continually build confidence in yourself and our organization.

Responsibilities

Youth Villages is a leader in behavioral health services for children, families, and young adults. As both a direct service organization and model purveyor, our evidence-based services are provided in 27 states and the District of Columbia. Founded in 1986, the agency has grown from two residential campuses to a nationwide organization that provides a continuum of care from intensive residential treatment to community-based programs. Intensive in-home services are the agency’s largest program, reflecting the core value that children are best raised by their family. Transition-age youth services are growing fastest, as the agency tries to fill a gap in high-quality services for young adults in and exiting from state custody without adequate support.

 

The agency’s Research Department began in the early 1990’s, shortly after the implementation of the agency’s first electronic medical records system. Partnering with independent researchers since the founding of the department, one of the department’s goals has always been to advance knowledge about effective services for children, families, and young adults and facilitate implementation of effective services nationwide.
