What we aim to solve
New Morning Youth and Family Services (NMYFS) provides food, clothing, shelter, and emotional and social support to children and youth who have runaway or are homeless. We strive to ensure that children and youth do not sleep outside, have a safe place to live in, and are equipped with resources that stabilize their emotional and physical state. Additionally, NMYFS provides the only adolescent drug and alcohol use treatment program in El Dorado County. Substance is rampant in this area, especially since cannabis is widely cultivated on private property. Victimization of crime is another area that NMYFS is addressing. Often times, victims are reluctant to come forward and consequently the perpetrator is not held accountable or continues to victimize the innocents. NMYFS also attends to the foster care population, which often is characterized by frequent moving of residences and schools, instability in family relationships, and undiagnosed/untreated psychological issues.
