about us

Youth Town was chartered by the state of Tennessee in 1962 and is a Christ-centered residential treatment facility for boys and girls ages 13 to 17. We offer hope to boys, girls and their families through an environment embodying the unconditional love of Christ. The programs offered are set in a highly structured environment and accompanied by a strict daily schedule. We recommend a 120 day residency.

At Youth Town we know the best way to help troubled adolescents is to help their families. Therefore, all of our programs are designed to actively include the family. When an adolescent becomes a part of the Youth Town family, home and family passes are strongly encouraged.

Youth Town has assembled a team consisting of more than 50 staff who are not only academically credentialed but experienced in working with adolescents in treatment and ministry. Our staff members have received special training to care for young men and women suffering from trauma. Our staff provides an atmosphere of hope and love to more than 150 troubled teens every year.
