About Us
Kairos Youth Services is a private non-profit organization that operates three community based youth homes in Great Falls, Montana. Youth in placement live in a healthy structured environment that provides safety and security. Youth are offered educational, social, cultural and recreational opportunities. They receive personal guidance, supervision, individual and family counseling, and referral to appropriate community resources. Youth exit our programs with improved school performance, fewer legal problems, and the skills necessary to become productive members of our community.
Youth Spotlight
Sixteen-year-old Callie was placed in Evergreen Youth and Shelter Home
by Youth court services in June 2010.
Callie incurred several charges including theft, assault,
runaways, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
She continued her pattern of poor choices, and was placed in the
home shortly after cited for drinking and driving and was involved in a
car accident.
Callie is a junior at Great Falls High School and will graduate as
scheduled next year. She is
passing all of her classes, and in October she received a Student
Recognition Award. Callie
was 1 of 40 students from across the state to serve on the first State
Superintendents School Advisory Board.
She will provide ideas on creating programs to decrease the
number of high school drop outs in Montana.
Callie has earned a 4-year college scholarship with the Upward
Bound Educational Talent Search program, and is excited about pursuing a
college degree when she graduates from high school.
Along with her educational endeavors, Callie has maintained employment
at a local restaurant where she works five days a week.
Income from this job has allowed Callie to pay almost $600 in
court ordered restitution.
Callie is a motivated young lady who continues to impress us with her
accomplishments. Her
ambition to overcome the obstacles in her life is inspiring.
We are proud of all that she has achieved, and know her future is
bright.
