About Us
At Harbor of Anchored Hearts, we believe every young person deserves safety, compassion, and the opportunity to thrive. We are a residential program dedicated to serving youth with structure, quality care, and evidence-based practices that promote healing, growth, and long-term success. Our purpose is not only to provide shelter, but to create a supportive home where young people feel anchored in care and guided toward brighter futures.
​
Our leadership and staff bring decades of combined experience in social work, counseling, criminal justice, and program management. We specialize in addressing complex challenges faced by youth, including trauma, mental health concerns, substance use, and family instability. By creating individualized plans, we meet residents where they are, helping them build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and prepare for the next stage of life.
A core part of our program is teaching essential life skills that prepare young people for independence and success beyond our walls. Residents learn practical tools such as communication, conflict resolution, decision-making, financial literacy, time management, and job readiness. In addition, we help youth develop self-care routines, cooking and household management skills, and strategies for setting and achieving personal goals. These everyday lessons equip our residents not just to survive, but to thrive as responsible and confident young adults.
​
More than a program, Harbor of Anchored Hearts is a home. Every aspect of our care whether counseling, educational support, or daily life lessons is rooted in dignity, respect, and empowerment. We uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance in alignment with Pennsylvania’s Chapter 3800 residential child care regulations, ensuring that our practices are ethical, accountable, and effective.
​
Guided by our mission to uplift and support youth, and inspired by our vision of a future where every child feels safe, valued, and capable of reaching their fullest potential, Harbor of Anchored Hearts is committed to anchoring young lives in love, growth, and possibility. Together, we are shaping stronger individuals, healthier families, and brighter communities.
