Today, Huckleberry House provides many programs to help teens across Central Ohio who are in crisis situations, homeless or runaways. The Huckleberry House mission is reaching young people and their families to build stronger lives.

One in seven children will run away before the age of 18. Once they are on their own, they don't have anywhere to go or don't know where to get help. At Huckleberry House we help teens and support families as they learn new ways to cope with the pressures of life. Some youth run away because they are experiencing unsafe situations and feel there is no other escape. At Huckleberry House we believe that teens should be safe. Our services provide alternatives to dangerous situations youth sometimes encounter.

All Huckleberry House services seek to bring needed relief to families in crisis. Huckleberry House provides the following services that support teens and families.

1) The Crisis Program
2) The Family Counseling Program
3) The Transitional Living Program
4) The Youth Outreach Program
5) The William R. McNamara Scholarship Fund
