60 Years Of Building Generations Of Strong Families
The Paul Anderson Youth Home in Vidalia, Georgia is a Christ-centered, fully licensed and accredited home offering a second chance to young men since 1961. The Home focuses on helping transform the lives of troubled young men and their families from all over the country, meeting them at their point of need, and providing a Christian home environment in which they can rebuild their broken lives through a process of recovery, restoration, and redemption.
With a friendly Southern style and a beautiful campus, the Home works with young men between the ages of 16-21. Although the majority are facing some form of incarceration, instead of serving time, they are learning to serve one another and the entire Home. As long as they are with us, they get up every morning run a mile and then go to a morning job on the campus; everyone has a specific responsibility. They cook and clean for themselves, have Bible Study and devotions, and attend our fully accredited, on-campus school, to complete their high-school education, and if eligible some even take online college classes. Their fundamental lessons are rooted in building Christian values and a tenacious work ethic.
We provide a holistic program that involves setting focused, individualized goals, tracking their progress, and maintaining accountability for all parties involved (mentors, social workers, administration, and the young man himself). Individual Service Plans (ISP) are tailored to meet each young man’s specific needs at the physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual levels.
A second chance for struggling youth
Paul Anderson Youth Home in Vidalia, Ga., transforms the lives of young men and boys aged 16–21 who are facing incarceration. Our holistic approach includes an accredited education program, emotional and substance abuse counseling, anger management, physical fitness, and spiritual development in a Christ-centered environment. Our experienced Mentors actively guide residents to better decision-making, life skills, and responsibility. Individual goals are set, progress is tracked, and accountability is maintained. The results have been remarkable.
For more than 60 years, Paul Anderson Youth Home has been more than a group home for troubled youth. In addition to giving over 1400 young men and boys in crisis a second chance at a fulfilling life, the cost to society is reduced as well. According to a Vanderbilt University study calculated in today’s dollars, the economic impact of Paul Anderson Youth Home has been calculated to be in excess of $2B.
