What Dubois County says about Youth First

“As a Catholic school, we emphasize teaching the whole child’s mind, body, and spirit. The partnership between Youth First and Holy Trinity provides an opportunity for growing each child’s social and emotional well-being through individual counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and small groups. These opportunities allow all children to strengthen their employability skills to later become involved citizens and prepared workers.”

“Youth First is committed to caring for kids, and we value supporting their mission. Youth First builds strong relationships with schools and community partners so that together, we are all helping youth and families face our current challenges and emerge with resilient mental health and hope for the future.”
