Abstract
There are a variety of opportunities available to youths with various problems concerning their care and treatment away from their natural home. There are foster homes, correctional institutions, youth care centers in the inner city, youth care centers in the rural areas, youth care centers combined with retreat centers, and operating ranches. There are youth care centers that accommodate only females, only males, or both. There are youth care centers that contain residents of a particular age or a variety of ages. There are various philosophies and methods of operation and treatment. There are Christian youth care centers that function within this framework as well as youth care centers that operate without any religious connotation.
