Core Programs

Plummer Home provides a continuum of services to youth in foster care.   Our programming is based on the belief that placement in a group home is a strategic opportunity to help youth heal, grow, and return to living in family and community.  In order to be successful, teenagers need:

•     Lifelong relationships with committed adults, including a permanent parent
•     Skills necessary for living and working
•   Productive community connections and involvement
  

Because creating lifelong relationships and skills requires engagement with parents, families and the community, we place a heavy emphasis on:  resolving the reasons that youth entered foster care, restoring or recreating family relationships; building personal and practical skills; and involving our youth with the community.

Our core programs include:

            Group Home (Up to 12 young men, ages 14-18)

            Supported Apartment (up to 4 young men ages 16-22, on same premises as group home)

            Family Support and Stabilization Program  (program through which we provide services to former

          Plummer Home residents living at home or with foster families)
