关于我们

Agape for Youth, Inc. is a private non-profit foster care, adoption, and reunification agency. Our Mission is"Providing youth and families with supportive, nurturing services that encourage each other to reach their full potential." Agape was founded in 1989 in order to place children into foster homes which could guide and support youth in becoming functioning individuals in society. Over the past 35 years, Agape for Youth, Inc. has built a strong reputation in the community as a leader in quality therapeutic foster care. Over the years Agape has expanded its services to include family foster care, providing adoption home studies, preparation of families and children for adoption, supportive services to adoptive families, and Reunification Services program provides the opportunity to work with families whose children are making the transition from foster care back to their biological family. The most recent addition to the programs and services at Agape for Youth, Inc. is the Giving Hope for Tomorrow Family Visitation Center. As an organization, we know the challenges that public agencies face in providing a safe, comfortable, family setting for visitation. The Giving Hope for Tomorrow Visitation Center is designed to provide a home style, family atmosphere for family or sibling visits. The visitation center has been a part of our plan since our relocation to our Edwin C. Moses location in August of 2015. The center is now completely furnished and ready for use by the families we serve as well as our referring agencies. We also anticipate the completion of an outdoor visitation area by the beginning of summer, providing a complement to the indoor visitation center. Agape for Youth, Inc. continues to uphold the fundamental belief of providing personal services to each family and youth working with our agency and supporting those individuals as they work together as for the success of the youth.

    ??WE ARE MOVING?? The Sunshine Book Club library launched out of a 2 car garage during Covid in 2020. On January 1, 2023 SBC was gifted a room to house our books for free. We were elated & grateful! This made the entire process much more efficient. The SBC has now been gifted the opportunity to house our library of books at Agape for Youth, Inc., one of our current partnerships. SBC has been providing books to foster children at Agape for Youth in the care bags children receive when moving from their homes. This is a time children truly need tender care. We have social workers each out to us because children ask for books during moving. If we can ease suffering and provide joy, even if only for a moment, we will do it! Our new library location at Agape for Youth provides the SBC the opportunity to reach MORE children. It is all about the kids! Many thanks to Agape for Youth for this partnership opportunity. Greater things ahead!!
