Building Brighter Futures

 This comprehensive campaign will support critical building renovations at the Hirschfield Center, Van Vleck Group Home, and Red Top Meadows Residential Facility — allowing enhanced programming in safe, welcoming spaces for young people navigating crises and seeking hope — in addition to expanding existing programming and ensuring long-term sustainability.

We believe in a community where our youth and their families have every opportunity to thrive.

Teton Youth & Family Services offers a path to healing and hope-filled futures for the young people and families of Teton County, WY. Over the past two years, the needs for our services — from case management and therapeutic support for young children navigating trauma to residential and wilderness-based opportunities for teenagers facing an array of challenges — have increased significantly.


With your support, we can meet their needs and help them find paths forward. Safe and welcoming facilities are fundamental elements of our programs.
