Dobbs Ferry Campus

Keeping Children Safe and Families Together

When a teen first gets into trouble, it can be the beginning of a downward spiral, one that parents or guardians are sometimes ill equipped to halt. Often, a short stay away from home and negative peers, with intensive support from professionals, can turn things around.

The Children’s Village’s Dobbs Ferry campus provides short-term residential programs for more than 1,000 children and youth annually. This campus, which is located just 35 minutes from New York City, includes 180 acres of rolling hills and woods, a state-of-the-art recreation center with an indoor pool, a 24/7 medical clinic, a K to 12 New York State school, and a full staff of clinical professionals. In addition, various supports like our Mentoring, Chapel, and work training programs provide youth with endless opportunities for success.
 

Programs include:

• A residential treatment center for youth placed through the foster care, juvenile justice and special education systems
• A residential treatment facility for children with severe mental health issues, placed through the Department of Mental Health
• A diagnostic center for youth in temporary crisis
• A non-secure detention center that helps identify the best possible placement for youth awaiting court decisions, and
• A transitional residence for undocumented children who have come to our borders with guardians.
