Founded in 1999 Youth in View is an organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of youth by providing a continuum of care through foster care, adoption, post-adoption, unplanned pregnancy and residential treatment services. We believe we must work together, sharing both responsibility and accountability for those who cannot take care of themselves. As an organization we always keep four main goals in mind. First, to prepare youth for permanent placement. Second, to provide a positive family environment that allows them to grow and develop. Third, to provide them with the opportunities to participate in family activities outside of an institutional setting and our fourth goal is to carefully match families with youth! As an intern my role was to aid the staff in any upcoming events and plan the annual teen summit.
