Foster Care (Home of Relative,Traditional and Specialized)
The RYF Foster Care Program provides a home-like environment to young men and women, ages 0 to 18. Clients remain in foster care an average of two years. Most of the girls and boys living in Foster Care leave the program and either enter the Group Home/TLP or ILO. While in the Foster Care program all children recieve intensive Case Management services.The Agency began when a group of prominent citizens decided that there needed to be a place that was an alternative to the Department of Corrections for teens.

Michelle is a vacation maker who has spent her career as someone who claims to care about the health and welfare of children. Her only concern is when 5 pm comes or when vacation time comes because she is lazy and doesn’t do anything in a timely manner.
Pete is a hot mess. He doesn’t control his temper or emotions and is a really bad guy who doesn’t respect people’s personal boundaries or property.
Dont do business with Rutledge!
