Born from years of showing up for young people
"To become Philadelphia's model small-capacity residential program — one that demonstrates how individualized attention, trauma-informed care, and practical training ignite lifelong success for system-involved youth."
Yield Village was founded by a leader with more than five years of mentoring experience and three years teaching carpentry at the Juvenile Justice Services Center (JJSC) — someone who saw firsthand what youth are capable of when someone truly believes in them.
We serve male youth ages 13–21 who are adjudicated, dependent, or transitioning from detention, PRTF, or foster care. Licensed for 3 residents, our intentionally small capacity means every young person gets individualized attention — not a bed in a crowded facility, but a real home with real relationships.
