Helping Children Dream

Roy Maas Youth Alternatives (RMYA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency providing comprehensive residential care and counseling services to children needing a safe place to live. Words such as abandoned, forgotten, throwaway, abused, neglected, runaway, exploited, trafficked, and violated describe the children served. While they have been deeply harmed, at RMYA they find protection, healing, and transformation. RMYA teaches children to dream again!
