Serving Youth Since 1995
Licensed as a boys teen group home in 1995, YOUTH WITH A PURPOSE is a faith based ministry to troubled teens located on a 86 acre farm in Salineville, OH.

We accept boys ages 8-17 who are AT RISK of growing up and becoming nonproductive adults. Most boys at YWAP have had some involvement with the juvenile court system. Other children who are placed, may be struggling in an unsafe or non nurturing & unsupportive home with parent(s) who have life controlling problems.
