Our Approach
All kids and families are different. We’re different, too. And that’s a good thing. We offer flexible, creative, outcome-based solutions to meet the individual needs of the youth and families we serve. We offer many of the same services as other organizations but we do it cost-effectively and keep it community-based because we believe youth experience the most success when they live in a family setting and in the community they call home.
We work cooperatively with contract sources and our referral partners to develop individually focused and fiscally responsible solutions to the needs of children, youth, and families in the communities in which we operate.
The cornerstones to our successful services with children,youth and families are our caring and committed foster parents and the dedicated NYAP team members who support them.
