Believing in the power of potential...

The community volunteers who founded Youth In Need in 1974 all agree on the moment when they decided to open a youth shelter: It was when they looked into the tear-filled eyes of a teenage girl whose face was bruised from yet another beating.

They remembered she had been brought to the local jail, where at that time all runaways and homeless youth were housed with adult criminals.

"It was late at night and we knew we had talked about opening a youth shelter long enough. Looking at that young girl, we knew that we couldn't let down one more kid." Reverend Earl Worley: one of the founders of Youth In Need. Many volunteers dedicated long hours to open that first shelter for youth in crisis.

Since its founding in 1974, Youth In Need has evolved into a multi-services agency serving children, youth, and families throughout Eastern Missouri. Youth In Need's vision is to be the community leader and driving force in making children's healthy development and well-being the community's highest priority, particularly for those who face adversity.

Believing in the power of potential, Youth In Need's mission is to provide nurturing environments and educational opportunities so children, youth and families will find safety and hope, achieve their goals, and build a positive future.
