Onward The Next 180 Years
Planning To Move Forward— With Your Support
Dear Friends,
As Virginia Home for Boys and Girls approaches its 180th anniversary, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment; one that honors our history while propelling us boldly into the future. For nearly two centuries, VHBG has adapted to meet the evolving needs of young people and families across Virginia. That agility and relentless focus on doing what is right for young people has always defined us. And it’s what fuels this next chapter: Onward.
In recent years, VHBG has experienced unprecedented growth. What once served about a dozen youth each day now reaches more than seventy-five— across our group homes, independent living programs, John G. Wood School, and therapeutic resource center. Each day, young people find safety, belonging, and relationships that help them heal and move forward.
Moreover, our reach now extends far beyond campus. Through our Therapeutic Resource Center, in FY25, VHBG trained more than 1,000 people from across the Commonwealth in Youth Mental Health First Aid, equipping teachers, parents, and community members with the tools to recognize and respond when a young person is struggling. This ripple effect reflects the heart of our mission: to create safe, stable, and inclusive spaces for youth everywhere, not just on our campus.
This momentum did not happen by chance: it is the result of clear vision and intentional planning. Earlier this year, VHBG finalized a bold five-year strategic plan grounded in four directions:
• Strengthening and expanding youth-centered, traumainformed programs.
• Advancing a mission-driven and inclusive workforce.
• Deepening and diversifying partnerships to amplify statewide impact.
• Fortifying our infrastructure to sustain growth and longterm stability.
These priorities have led us to two major initiatives now underway: our rebranding — ensuring that how we present ourselves aligns with who we truly are — and our campus master planning, ensuring that the spaces where youth live and learn reflect the quality and dignity of our programs. Together, they represent progress and purpose in building the foundation for VHBG’s future.
Today’s world is tough for young people. Many face trauma, disconnection, or a lack of stable, caring relationships. Systems are stretched thin, and the need for trusted support has never been greater. VHBG is strong, adaptable, and deeply committed to helping every young person learn, grow, and excel. We are uniquely positioned to lead in this moment.
None of this is possible without partnership. Roughly half of our funding comes through public contracts, while the other half is made possible by private generosity. Donors, foundations, and community partners like you. Your support ensures that when a young person needs us, VHBG is ready.
As we celebrate 180 years of service, our vision is simple and unwavering:
To be here. Stronger, bolder, and more impactful, for the next 180 years.
Now is the time to invest in this future. Together, we can carry forward this legacy of care and connection, ensuring that every young person in Virginia has the chance to build a bright, stable, and fulfilling life. ONWARD!
With gratitude and determination,
Claiborne Warner President & CEO
A misson and vision for now and the future
We believe all people deserve to be embraced as their unique and authentic selves, and to be supported by their communities.
Therefore, our mission is to create safe, stable, and inclusive spaces where young people can feel connected, build meaningful relationships, develop vital skills, and navigate life with confidence.
Our vision is that all young people can envision, pursue, and experience personal success.
“Onward” is how we make that vision real.
Why VHBG Exists: A National and Local Imperative
A National Crisis in Youth Stability and Belonging
Across the United States, too many young people are growing up without the stability and support they need to thrive. Nearly 1 in 10 youth ages 18–25 and 1 in 30 adolescents ages 13–17 experience homelessness over the course of a year. More than 400,000 children and teens live in foster care on any given day, and nearly 20,000 age out each year without permanent family connections.
For young people facing trauma, family disruption, or systemic inequities, the path to adulthood can feel uncertain and lonely. The absence of stable housing, caring relationships, and access to mental health and educational supports compounds risk. Schools and communities often lack the trauma-informed systems and individualized resources needed to help youth heal and succeed.
The result is a national pattern of disconnection: 11% of U.S. youth ages 16–24 are neither in school nor working—representing over 4.5 million young people who are disengaged from opportunity. These are not statistics about failure—they’re signals of unmet need, of systems stretched thin, and of a collective call to action.
The Virginia Picture: Deepening Gaps and Growing Need
In Virginia, the trends mirror the national crisis. More than 5,000 children are in foster care, and hundreds more “age out” each year with few supports to help them navigate independence. Of the 20,700 students in Virginia experiencing homelessness, many are on their own without a parent or guardian. Youth under 18 cannot legally access shelter or healthcare in Virginia, leaving them dangerously unsupported. These gaps in the system deepen their vulnerability and make it easy for them to be overlooked entirely.
Meanwhile, one in five Virginia adolescents reports symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma exposure, yet behavioral health services remain scarce, especially for those without family advocates or private insurance. Schools are struggling to meet the mental health and special education needs of students, particularly those who have experienced significant trauma.
These gaps in care and connection create a revolving door between instability, disengagement, and crisis—a cycle that can be interrupted only by holistic, relationship-centered support.
Where VHBG Comes In
Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) exists to break that cycle. For nearly two centuries, VHBG has provided safe, stable, and inclusive spaces where young people can build relationships, develop skills, and navigate life.
Today, VHBG serves more than 75 youth and young adults each day through its Group Homes, Independent Living and Outreach Programs, John G. Wood School, and Therapeutic Resource Center. Together, these programs form a network of support designed to meet young people where they are—academically, emotionally, and developmentally—and to help them build the confidence and community connections they need to thrive.
VHBG’s trauma-informed practices ensure that every youth has access not only to shelter or schooling, but to belonging, healing, and hope. By combining education, housing, and mental health supports on one 30-acre campus, VHBG offers what few organizations can: a continuum of care that restores stability and sparks possibility.
We do more than provide services. We build relationships that matter, right now and for the future.
At Virginia Home for Boys and Girls, our mission comes alive through the programs that touch young people every day.
These impactful programs form a continuum of care that ensures youth are not defined by their past but empowered to move onward toward a brighter future.

A Place to Belong and Begin Again
Children experiencing foster care often face instability, moving from one placement to another. For some, trauma and behavioral challenges require specialized support before they can thrive in a family-based setting. VHBG’s group homes provide a safe and stabilizing environment where young people find consistency, care, and space to grow.
VHBG’s group homes fill a vital gap in Virginia’s child welfare system. They provide short-term, community-based care for young people who need structure, stability, and guidance before taking their next step. Licensed by the Department of Social Services and intentionally non-Medicaid, our homes are designed to be flexible and responsive, built around each young person’s unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Our team meets every young person with empathy and respect. They recognize strengths first, then help youth practice new ways to navigate challenges and make healthy choices. Success isn’t measured by how long someone stays, but by how far they move toward stability, connection, and self-sufficiency.
“At VHBG, youth are not managed — they are mentored, encouraged, and trusted to succeed.”
VHBG’s group homes are intentionally short-term and goal-oriented, with families and local service teams fully engaged in the process. Because our model isn’t bound by insurance timelines, decisions stay in the hands of those who know each youth best. That flexibility allows us to respond quickly, preserve family connections, and support smoother transitions, whether that means going home, entering foster care, or moving into independent living.
– Cory Richardson-Lauve, VP Programs
At VHBG, our approach looks different from traditional residential care. We call it teachingfocused because real growth doesn’t happen in therapy sessions alone — it happens in everyday moments. Making dinner together. Talking through conflict. Setting goals and celebrating progress. Each interaction becomes a chance to teach skills that build confidence, emotional regulation, and independence.
For many young people, this is the first time they’ve experienced consistency, belonging, and genuine encouragement to believe in their own potential. Families often reunify stronger than before, with youth returning home equipped with life skills, emotional tools, and confidence for what comes next.
By investing in this model, donors make that transformation possible. VHBG’s group homes turn a moment of crisis into a turning point—a place where young people are seen, valued, and prepared to move onward with purpose, belonging, and hope.
The Power of Being Seen
For one young person living at VHBG, birthdays had never been a reason to celebrate. They were reminders of being overlooked, of waiting for something that never came.
“I get forgotten every year,” he said quietly when a staff member asked about his plans. When pressed about what might make this year different, he shrugged. “Nothing,” he said, then added almost as an afterthought, “Doritos. The Sriracha ones.”
That small answer spoke volumes. Not about chips, but about hope. It was his way of testing whether anyone was really listening.
This time, people were.
On his birthday morning, he put on a new outfit, sharp, confident, and ready to face the day. As he walked through campus, something unexpected happened. Teachers, counselors, and staff from across VHBG greeted him one by one, each handing him a bag of his favorite Doritos. At school. At the clinic. Back at the group
“This was a great birthday,” he said with tears in his eyes.
– VHBG Youth
home. Some large, some small, and all the right flavor. By the time he returned to his group home that evening, he was laughing, crying, hugging the staff around him. “This was a great birthday,” he said with tears in his eyes.
That moment wasn’t about the Doritos. It was about being seen — about realizing that people noticed, cared, and remembered.
In VHBG’s teaching-focused group homes, this is what healing looks like. Connection replaces isolation. Trust builds slowly, through small, everyday moments that say: You belong. You have value. You are part of this community.
Transitional Living
Housing for Young Adults Aging Out or Experiencing Homelessness
Every year, about 15,000 young people age out of foster care nationwide, and too many enter adulthood alone. Research shows that within 18 months, 40% will experience homelessness, and 97% will fall into poverty. VHBG’s independent living homes change that trajectory. Residents receive housing, case management, and coaching in budgeting, employment, and education-essentials for a stable future.
In addition, VHBG operates two outreach homes for young people experiencing homelessness, including one specifically affirming for LGBTQIA+ youth. This matters because 32–34% of youth in foster care identify as LGBTQIA+, and they are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their peers. These homes provide not just a roof, but community, identity-affirming support, and a path to stability.
These homes provide not just a roof, but community, identityaffirming support, and a path to stability.
Jan’s Journey to Independence
At just 18, Jan was doing everything right. She had her own apartment, a steady job, and plans for her future. Then, almost overnight, everything changed. She lost her job, her apartment, and eventually, all she had left was her car. For two years, that car became her home; a place where she did her best to stay safe, sleep, and find a way forward.
Then, one day, she saw a flyer for VHBG’s Outreach Services for young adults. That small piece of paper changed everything. Soon after, Jan met a VHBG Outreach Worker who helped her enroll in services and connected her to VHBG’s Housing Support Program at Pride Place: a safe, affirming environment for young adults working toward stability.
For the first time in years, Jan had a bed to sleep in, a kitchen to cook in, and a door she could lock behind her. But more than that, she had people in her corner. Working side-by-side with her Housing Support Specialist, Jan began addressing the barriers that had contributed to her homelessness. She learned budgeting and life skills, built a supportive network, and found a renewed sense of confidence and purpose.
Before long, Jan secured part-time work as a certified nursing assistant (CNA). With encouragement and support from her VHBG team, she set her sights higher enrolling in a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program. She is now on track to graduate in April 2026 and will soon transition into stable housing through Rapid Rehousing.
Pride Place gave Jan more than a roof over her head—it helped her develop the skills to rebuild her life. Her determination, coupled with the wraparound support she found through VHBG, transformed crisis into opportunity and survival into independence.
The Power of One Caring Adult
How Connection Fuels Healing at VHBG
At Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG), we have learned that change rarely starts with a program or a plan—it starts with one caring adult.
For a young person who’s lived through instability or trauma, one relationship can change everything. Sometimes it’s a teacher who listens. Sometimes it’s a counselor who doesn’t give up. Sometimes it’s a neighbor or mentor who simply believes. These connections— what we call natural supports—are the foundation of healing. They remind young people they’re not alone and help them build confidence in who they are and who they can become.
At VHBG, our Therapeutic Resources program is built on that belief. We provide trauma-informed therapy that helps youth navigate anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges while building coping skills and resilience. But just as importantly, our counselors listen—really listen. When a young person tells us they love to cook or find peace in gardening, that’s not small talk—it’s a window into what gives them joy and identity.
From there, the healing expands outward. Counselors connect youth to people who can nurture those interests: a culinary teacher who offers encouragement, a neighbor who shares gardening tips, or a mentor who invites them to help with a project. Each connection becomes a small but powerful act of stability and belonging.
Beyond our campus, VHBG’s impact grows through Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training, which equips teachers, coaches, and parents to recognize when a young person is struggling—and to respond with calm and compassion. Every adult trained becomes part of a growing circle of care that surrounds our youth and strengthens entire communities.
Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationships.
And when young people are surrounded by caring adults—at VHBG and beyond—they begin to trust again. They start to imagine what’s possible. They move from surviving to thriving.
That’s the power of one caring adult—and the multiplied power of many.
For a young person who’s lived through instability or trauma, one relationship can change everything.

Where Academics Meets Social-Emotional
Across the nation, 15% of students qualify for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Many require more intensive supports than public schools can provide. VHBG’s John G. Wood School offers individualized, therapeutic education for these students, carefully designed to serve as a critical bridge with the clear goal of returning students to their community schools whenever possible or towards earning their high school diploma. Rather than focusing solely on academics or behaviors, every element of this school environment is crafted to support the whole child— academically, emotionally and socially.
“We treat behavior errors like academic errors — we teach through them.” – Julius Gonzales, Director of Education

Advocacy & Systems Impact: From Safety Nets to System Change
For nearly 180 years, Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) has been a place of safety and stability for young people who’ve fallen through the cracks. We’ve built a reputation for showing up when others can’t—providing housing, education, counseling, and care for youth and young adults in crisis.
But as the needs of young people and families evolve, so must we. Today, VHBG is expanding its role—moving upstream to strengthen families before crisis occurs.
From Direct Support to Prevention and Partnership
Our mission has always been rooted in creating safe, stable, and inclusive spaces where young people can build relationships, develop skills, and navigate life. The next chapter of that mission— outlined in our strategic plan—calls us to go further: to become part of the systemic solution that keeps families together and reduces the number of youth entering out-of-home care.
Through collaboration with partners across Virginia, VHBG is working at the intersection of prevention, education, and policy—helping design systems that empower families, strengthen communities, and create lasting change.
Leading at the State Level
VHBG’s leadership extends beyond our 30-acre campus. We’re active participants in statewide task forces and coalitions that shape the future of child and family services in Virginia.
Our team contributes to the Governor’s Task Forces, the Commission on Youth, and VDSS workgroups focused on prevention and family strengthening. By sharing our on-the-ground insights from decades of direct service, we help inform best and evidence-based practices that reach families earlier—long before intervention becomes removal.
VHBG also plays a leadership role in three major statewide associations:
•Virginia Association of Independent Specialized Education Facilities (VAISEF) – ensuring that trauma-informed education remains accessible and high-quality.
• Virginia Coalition of Private Provider Associations (VCOPPA) – amplifying the collective voice of community-based service providers.
• Virginia Association of Licensed Child Placing Agencies (VALCPA) –shaping standards that promote stability and positive outcomes for youth in care.
These collaborations ensure that VHBG’s practical experience informs policy, funding, and innovation at every level of the system.
Aligning with our Strategic Vision
This work directly advances VHBG’s strategic priorities:
• Strengthening prevention through community-based supports and early intervention.
• Expanding influence by sharing our expertise to improve systems and practices statewide.
• Building partnerships that integrate public and private efforts to serve youth and families more effectively.
We are not just stepping in when young people struggle — we’re creating the support they need to stay strong and steady.
By pairing our historic commitment to care with a forwardlooking focus on systems change, VHBG is redefining what it means to create lasting impact.
Every program, every partnership, every story reflects a step forward in a young person’s life.
Together, they form a network of support that helps youth heal, grow, and envision success. This is the heart of VHBG’s mission and vision—and why we are moving onward with strength, resilience, and hope.
