Mission StatementElk Hill provides healthy environments where young people, ages 11 - 18, can feel safe to make positive changes. Through specialized education and treatment programs they are able to discover the academic, vocational, behavioral and life skills necessary to re-direct their troubled lives.
What is Elk Hill?Elk Hill seeks to turn troubled young lives around through a continuum of programs designed to help many levels of "at-risk" young men and women whose needs are not acute enough to require hospitalization. We began in 1970 with a residential program located on a 300-acre estate donated by our founder, Mr. Buford Scott. This program grew from 6 young men to a residential campus with a fully accredited school housing 50 at-risk young men. The success rate index of this program is 83%, one of the highest in the Commonwealth.As the needs of Virginia's at-risk young men and women increase we have created new programs tailored to the needs of this growing population. We now operate two group homes for young men, one in the north side of Richmond and one in Charlottesville. These programs teach young men independent living skills while they attend school and work within the community. We also operate two-day schools, one located on our Goochland, Va. campus and one in Varina, for young men and women who are having academic, emotional or behavioral problems that prevent them from attending public schools. The purpose of our day schools is to address the academic and behavioral issues so these young men and women can return to the public school system. |
