The YouthBridge Community Foundation is a 135-year-old organization previously known as the General Protestant Children's Home.  YouthBridge’s mission evolved to fund and support multiple innovative youth-focused social ventures, some of them located on the YouthBridge 19-acre Creve Coeur, Missouri campus.  HavenHouse St. Louis provides the comfort of home and a community of support for families traveling to St. Louis to receive medical care for their children.   Good Shepherd School provides innovative approaches to early childhood education and intervention services for a diverse population of children with both typical skills and developmental challenges. Their inclusive environment helps develop well-balanced, compassionate youths. YouthBridge also helped organize and fund the Missouri Alliance for Children and Families, LLC. This organization annually helps more than 875 severely disadvantaged children and their families concurrently to become more functional and optimizes the effectiveness of foster care and residential services.  [hear more]

YouthBridge supported and funded ventures are designed to operate as independent entities following the association’s initial support. YouthBridge’s goal is to support ventures that can benefit from initial assistance, then become self-sufficient.
