Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Virginia Home for Boys & Girls provides residential care and support to children with special needs. Primary services include: John G. Wood School The school provides academic and vocational education to children who can't find appropriate services in local public schools. In addition the school provides educational opportunities to residents of the Youth Emergency Shelter and to day students from the community. Youth Emergency Shelter The program serves status offenders, children in need of services, and can serve truants, runaways, the neglected and abused, those beyond parental control and children in need of foster care or alternative housing. Clinical Services Clinical Services offers individual, group, and/or family therapy to the children who live at the Home. The group therapy sessions are held in a relaxed and informal atmosphere so the children are comfortable. When a child is admitted he or she is assessed and an initial therapeutic intervention plan is formulated. The child is then assigned a therapist based on the history and communication style of the resident. Independent Living The Pathfinder Independent Living Program supports young men and women between the ages of 16 and 21 who need guidance and support as they transition into the responsibility and independence of young adulthood.
