New Morning Youth & Family Services

For over five decades, New Morning Youth & Family Services has served as a vital resource for youth and families in El Dorado County. Our organization was founded in response to the growing need for youth support services and has since evolved into a comprehensive behavioral health and child welfare agency. We operate the only 24-hour emergency youth shelter in the county, providing critical housing, counseling, and recovery services for homeless, runaway, and high-risk youth. Our team of trained professionals delivers clinical treatment programs for substance abuse, mental health challenges, and family dynamics, with specialized initiatives for pregnant and parenting teens. Through community partnerships and donor support, we've expanded our facilities to include dedicated learning centers and counseling spaces that promote long-term healing and educational advancement.

Our programs extend beyond immediate crisis intervention to include preventative services like the Queer Youth Advocacy Project, Latino Outreach, and vocational training initiatives. We maintain strict compliance with child welfare standards while prioritizing cultural sensitivity and holistic care approaches. With 24/7 shelter operations and structured outpatient services, we serve as a safety net for the county's most vulnerable populations. Our annual impact metrics demonstrate consistent growth in service delivery, including thousands of counseling hours and meals provided annually. Through strategic collaborations with local foundations and businesses, we continue enhancing our capacity to address evolving community needs while maintaining our core mission of youth empowerment and family stabilization.
