As Roy Maas Youth Alternatives marks 50 years of caring for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and complex trauma, our $1 million anniversary goal is about ensuring these children receive the level of care they truly need — not just the level that public funding covers.
Government support helps provide the basics, but it does not fund the full cost of trauma-informed care, licensed clinicians, safe and healing residential environments, or the facility improvements required to meet today’s higher-acuity needs.
Philanthropy makes the difference between a placement and a path to healing.
This investment will strengthen counseling that helps families stay together whenever possible and improve the therapeutic spaces and residential environments where children begin to feel safe, stable, and hopeful again.
Together, we can ensure the next 50 years begin with the same promise that started the first:
Every child deserves safety, stability, and the chance to dream again.
