The Magic Behind Our Red Doors

Our homes, in renovated churches on Main Street in Westbrook and 75 Bacon Street in Biddeford, are where we nurture, inspire, and safeguard at-risk teens, many of whom have nowhere else to go. With steely resolve and a passion for accountability, we keep kids safe, fed, loved, and shown a different path. Join us as we change lives. <Learn more>
