Chehalem Youth & Family Services is a non-profit organization that provides residential treatment  to adjudicated youth, ages from eleven to seventeen.

The true purpose of CYFS is not to develop programs or administer large budgets. Our sole purpose is to facilitate an atmosphere of hope and healing where there is none. We operate by these important principles:

We offer children and their families hope, love and encouragement to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

A child's value is realized in our community through the delivery of compassionate care. When we provide cost-effective services to children, we contribute back into our local economy and reduce the burden for taxpayers everywhere.
