About us
In continuous operation since 1972, Youth Haven is Southwest Florida’s only residential and emergency shelter for boys and girls ages 10-19 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. Youth Haven envisions a day when every child in Southwest Florida will grow up in a safe and nurturing family environment. A 18.5-acre therapeutic campus offers around-the-clock specialized care for children and teens. Services include: nutritious meals, clothing, educational support, medical care, dental care, mental health care, therapy and counseling, and more; all in a homelike environment. Youth Haven provides three main comprehensive programs: The Emergency & Residential Shelter (Cottages); the Homeless Teen & Transitional Living Program (HTTLP); and the Counseling Center. The Cottages provide a home, instill hope and create a safe place to help children in the child welfare system begin to heal. The HTTLP is the only program in Collier County for teens experiencing homelessness and in need of assistance in their transition to adulthood. The program provides intensive case management with a strengths-based approach that meets the individual needs of youth and encourages them to set and pursue their own goals. The Counseling Center is open to the public and offers mental health services to children, adolescents and families in the community. Youth Haven's compassionate team of metal health clinicians helps to mend lives, utilizing a range of evidence-based and practice-informed therapeutic approaches. Youth Haven has been awarded a 4-star rating (the highest rating available) by Charity Navigator, the nation's leading evaluator of financial health, and fiscal accountability and transparency. Youth Haven is fully-accredited by the nationally-recognized Council on Accreditation (COA), a member agency of the United Way of Collier County, and Naples Children & Education Foundation beneficiary.

Is there a better day than today, the first annual Jimmy Buffett Day, to share highlights from last week's All-Staff Tropical Party? Decked out in our finest Hawaiian attire, we enjoyed a delicious lunch (thank you, Neal and Alex!), shared updates, celebrated successes, and caught up with teammates. A big thank you to our engagement committee for planning such a fun #TropicalVibesOnly gathering! In the spirit of 'Jimmy Buffett Day,' celebrated as a brand-wide day of service, we encourage you to find a way to give back. If you're interested in getting involved with Youth Haven, we offer a variety of volunteer opportunities.
