The youth program at king's home focuses on helping boys and girls ages 10-21 who arrive through the alabama department of human resources, the court system or through private placement. Twelve residential group homes operate for young people who have been abused, abandoned or neglected. Approximately 98% of king's home youth have been abused, 75% are classified with severe behavioral problems and 90% arrive at least one year behind in school. King's home models effective and positive family life for troubled youth in a structured, goal oriented, home style environment. Young people acquire social skills while being encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and for each other. Tangible services to assist youth include social skills, education, job skills training and/or furthering education preparation and aid, independent living skills, counseling, shelter, food, transportation, clothing and many other necessary items and resources needed to be successful in life. Focus for spiritual development and educational support for the king's home youth program is constantly sustained as a priority. During 2021 on average 50 youth were served monthly from over 25 counties across the state of alabama.
