Youth Services Y.E.S.S. Outcomes

The community of Berk County is committed to working together, building resources and strengthening partnerships which will change young lives. We are providing compassion, direction and hope at a critical time in their lives.

The following lists the goals of all teens supported by Mary’s Shelter.

  • Successful enrollment in and/or completion of high school, current grade level, or GED program

  • Active participation and completion of in-house courses on social skills and life skills training

  • If possible, reunification with family member for housing

  • Referrals to appropriate transitional or permanent housing agencies if reunification is not viable or does not benefit the client

    When I asked one young man what I could do for him today – his response was “Just don’t give up on me.”
