MVP Youth Inc

We are National Health Service site that counsels children, Youth, families, and young adults. We use play and art therapy combined with CBT, EMDR, and other trauma-focused modalities, etc. to assist our clients through difficult circumstances. We also have a civic component to our organization that provides outreach services to the Department of Human Services of Allegany County's Family Preservation Program. It supplies children 0-18 years old with a backpack/bag with essential items of a quilt/throw, pjs, undergarments, full-size hygiene items, stationary items, toys, stress star, night light/flashlight, snack, water, etc. This program provides local Youth with experiential learning opportunities for leadership skills as items are prepared for distribution to other Youth. Our junior helpers also learn empathy through compassionate outreach to those in need. The HOPE program is primarily covered by in-kind donations at this point because MVP's sustainability is top priority.
