Teaching sustainable life skills and offering shelter from abuse and neglect. 

Since our inception in 1974, the Ellen Hines Smith Girls' Home has been a safe haven of care and compassion offering around-the-clock care for girls who have experienced abuse or neglect.

While at the Girls' Home, trained staff help each girl learn how to trust, teach key social and life skills, and provide the necessary support for girls to make academic progress and set long-term goals for their lives. 

Some girls stay with us for three months. Some girls stay for many years. The girls in our care have some amazing success stories!
