Our Programs and Services
A Message from our CEO
Dear Friends,
Thank you very much for visiting our site to learn more about Directions for Youth & Families. Your interest and support help provide vital services for youth and families in our community.
Many of the people served by Directions have experienced lives filled with challenge, hurt and distress. We invite you to read the stories of some of the young people we serve in the State of the Child Report. Listen as they speak to you through the Voice of the Child. We hope you will better understand the challenges they face through their stories of pain, struggle, hope, and achievement.
Youth and families served by Directions are resilient. They have hopes for the future, and they hold tightly to those hopes even in the worst circumstances. Our Directions for Youth & Families' staff help youth and families make sound choices and achieve promising futures. We help them focus on their creativity, strengths and talents. We help youth and their families realize what the future can offer.
Please visit the Programs section for specific information about Directions services. Our Results document the measurable success of our programs.
Your partnership with Directions for Youth & Families will help us continue our efforts to make central Ohio a community where each child and family has the opportunity to live in a safe, nurturing environment and achieve a promising future. We invite your participation and support. We invite you to visit with us at the Short Stop or Ohio Avenue Youth Centers at any time. Please contact us at gro.fyfd@tnempoleved or 614-294-2661 to schedule a convenient time or to answer questions you may have.
Your commitment to our community's young people and families is most appreciated by all who are served by our programs.
Sincerely,
Steve Votaw
