Community-Based Services for Positive Youth Development

Green Chimneys provides comprehensive community-based services for at-risk, runaway, homeless, street and foster care youth, as well as seriously emotionally disturbed, behaviorally disordered, and typically developing youth and their families across Putnam County and surrounding areas.

From fun and constructive activity programs at the Community Outreach Center to Arbor House youth shelter to connecting families with necessary resources for their children, Green Chimneys offers a wide range of support services for all ages up 21 years old. The goal of Green Chimneys’ community-based programs is to reunite families, encourage conflict resolution and help strengthen family communication and optimal functioning through comprehensive prevention and intervention services.

Services are available throughout the year with special programming offered during summer months and school vacations.

All services are free and confidential. Bilingual staff available.

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
