Your support enables us to continue Changing Lives, Building Futures by fulfilling our mission of providing a safe haven, counseling and outreach services 24 hours per day, without charge, to assist over 2,500 youth in crisis every year throughout Hampton Roads, with the goal of reuniting families. Each year hundreds of boys and girls, ages 9 up to 18, arrive at our two Virginia Beach residential shelters—often in the middle of the night, sometimes with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Our staff welcomes them with food, shelter, clothing, school supplies, and the counseling and support necessary for them to either return to their families or continue on to another safe, home environment. Seton’s Youth Outreach Program visits area schools, events, and neighborhoods, reaching out to thousands of youth, offering crisis intervention, counseling, and shelter options—a lifeline for this vulnerable population. Our Mentoring Children of Prisoners program gives children of incarcerated parents the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to reach their full potential.
