“A safe place for youth to live and grow.”
Our mission: to provide safe housing that creates opportunities for at-risk youth
Hawthorn Heights WNC is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating a state-licensed residential respite program serving youth ages 12–17. We provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for young people who are experiencing instability at home, are involved in the foster care or juvenile justice systems, or are struggling with behavioral, emotional, or school-related challenges.
