Hope For Youth recently held their 40th Anniversary held on November 9, 2009 titled Cornucopia of Hope.

As part of this celebration, we collected memories from alumni and former staff who were willing to share their personal reflections of Hope For Youth.

	In 1969, Judge Elizabeth Bass Golding of the Nassau County Family Court, founded Hope For Youth to create a group home program for adolescent boys. Judge Golding envisioned a community based alternative for emotionally disturbed Nassau County youth placed in residential treatment centers, but capable of
living in the community with appropriate supports. Hope For Youth opened its first boys group home in Bellmore in 1970 and subsequently received local, state and national recognition for demonstrating the viability of the group home model for youth. read more>>

The mission of Hope For Youth is to assist the children, youth, and families who seek our services to acquire the skills, knowledge and behaviors necessary to maximize the likelihood of independent living.

Toward this end, the agency will offer an array of residential and community based services, provided in the least restrictive environment, which are culturally sensitive, professionally staffed, and which are adapted to meet the changing needs of the clients and communities we serve.
