PCHAS is a member of the Coalition for Residential Education (CORE), the national group of nonprofit organizations that serve economically and socially disadvantaged children through residential education. Our learning programs serve all ages of children in a number of program settings.
Our team of dedicated staff members and tutors offer consistent and skilled support by mentoring, tutoring and advocating for the children in our care.
As youth prepare to graduate from high school, the PCHAS education team helps them, define their career and educational objectives, choose the university, college or technical school that best fits their needs, and to obtain the skills needed for post-secondary transition. We even help them submit applications to educational institutions, apply for financial aid grants and secure housing. Many of the youth in our care qualify for grants and scholarships.
Families in our Child and Family and Foster Care programs have access to PCHAS education staff for consultation and educational advocacy. Our education team educates foster parents and staff about ways to emphasize academics with kids in our care and how to work with school staff to help students succeed.
Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services (PCHAS) provides two programs for former residents of its Foster Care Village and its former Group Home Program.
The Transitional Living Program serves former residents ages 18 to 25. It helps former residents make a successful transition to independent living, apply to college and adjust to college or the workforce.
The Advanced Education Program serves former residents 18 and older. They are welcome to come back and visit with our Director of Advanced Education to request assistance for school and career guidance. Former residents who are ready to set goals and take action can apply for this program and its related assistance funds. Please use our Contact page to ask for an application to the Advanced Education Program.
You can make a difference in a child’s life by helping to fund the programs that bring them safety, love and healing.
