Who We Are

Orchards Children's Services has been a beacon of hope for children and families for over 50 years.

Orchards seeks to protect and nurture children and youth by providing shelter, sustenance, life- and educational skills and opportunities. Our programs and services touch children from birth to young adulthood, and we remain committed to them every step of the way.

We believe in engaging individuals in planning for their own success, and offer services and support in their homes and communities. By working in partnership with parents, relatives, foster parents and children where they live, we empower them to achieve stability and long-term self-sufficiency.

What We Do

Orchards strives constantly to redefine the stereotypes applied to troubled families and traumatized children. We believe that labels often translate into stigmas. We create opportunities to connect the young people we serve with accessible therapeutic and health services, mainstream educational resources and conventional recreational activities.

We employ professionally qualified staff, trained to assist families in developing improved communications and parenting skills, to promote the well being of children being fostered and adopted.

We provide counseling, and serve as a link to community resources related to recovery and employability. We further support children and families through this period by facilitating transportation and addressing critical housing needs.
