Our mission: No child shall be denied hope, love or a fair chance in life.

Description:
Since 1972, Domus has helped thousands of our region’s most vulnerable youth and their families experience success. The love, structure, and support we provide at our charter schools, residential programs, and community programs enable our kids and families to reach their full potential. Children are learning independent living and job skills, improving their academic performance, and developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our ability to build relationships helps kids and families who may be struggling in school or in life focus on their strengths and make good choices. The result? Happier, healthier human beings who can fully contribute their talents to the communities in which they live and work.

History:
Domus started in 1972 as a single group home for just a few boys. Today, we work with over 600 young people and their families via our residential, educational, and community programs.
