Youth Haven Charity Profile
Youth Haven was incorporated and its first Board of Directors formed in 1969. Youth Haven remains the only emergency shelter for children in Collier County. Since inception, we have provided a home for thousands of neglected and/or abused children in desperate need of protection – ages birth through eleven, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, without exception.
We rely heavily on the community to support our programs, as we receive no funding from Collier County. Seventy-eight percent of our income last fiscal year came directly from community donations. Only 22% of our support this past year came from State or Federal funding. Our land and building are fully owned. We have a beautiful, remote 25-acre campus with charming cottages, lush landscaping, volleyball and basketball courts, bicycle path, and age-appropriate playgrounds. Five acres are developed with room to expand to meet the changing needs of our community.
Youth Haven Volunteer Information
Prevention Programs assist parents and their children in becoming stronger and happier families. Volunteers are needed on the 3rd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at the Family Support Services office in the early evening for approximately 2 hours each evening to help Youth Haven staff with planned enrichment activities for children.
