Hoyleton Youth & Family Services is one of only 12 CARE-certified agencies in the United States, and the only one serving youth in the Midwest. CARE certification is granted to social services agencies, by Cornell University, that meet the Residential Child Care Project's Highest Standards for Implementation of the Child and Residential Experiences (CARE) Program Model.
CARE is a trauma-informed practice model based on six core principles that create successful outcomes for children and families. The aim of CARE is to bring our current practice closer to well-researched best practices with children and families impacted by trauma. The CARE model is recognized as our agency compass, it guides our interactions with youth, families, and staff as well as our policies, procedures, and decision-making.

I am an alumni of Hoyleton, I was there from October of 88 until june of 1990, it was the best place for me at that time. I was in the Honor's home, and we were family, the staff was great, we learned a lot about life and how to prepare for adulthood. If I can rewind time, I wouldn't change a thing, I'm very greatful for the experience and I am still in contact with some of my brothers and sisters today Hoyleton will always have a place in my heart
