Utah Youth Village operates four Family Homes. Our homes are located along the Wasatch Front and are staffed with full-time Family Teachers who live in each home.

Our homes are designed to provide treatment for youth whose behaviors are too disruptive for life in a traditional home or foster home, but who need an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization.

While in our homes, youth attend public school, do chores, and practice skills that help them work toward graduation from the program. After graduation, most return to their families, move into adoptive placements, or live with a Village foster family. If they are 18, the Village prepares them for independence and self-sufficiency.

We teach the youth in our care how to live in a healthy family environment. They learn to overcome their chaotic backgrounds and to behave appropriately. In the end, their school performance improves, they mature, and they develop the skills necessary to succeed at home, in school and on the job.
