About Green Chimneys’ Community Based Services

Our services are inherently preventive in nature and designed to keep children in their community and with their families. Our experienced staff work closely with youth and families to provide individualized services, skill-building tools, and resources to support positive individual and familial development, self-reliance, and healthy communication.

From fun and constructive activity programs at the Community Outreach Center to Arbor House youth shelter to connecting families with necessary resources for their children, Green Chimneys offers a wide range of support services for all ages up 21 years old. The goal of Green Chimneys’ community-based programs is to reunite families, encourage conflict resolution and help strengthen family communication and optimal functioning through comprehensive prevention and intervention services.
