Last week, we had the pleasure of holding our 2026 Annual Meeting at the Lehigh Country Club in Allentown, PA! The event brought together board members, staff and community partners to reflect on the past year and share plans for what’s ahead.
Members of our Leadership Team and Board presented a comprehensive program, highlighting the agency’s 2025 financial report and previewing an exciting lineup of upcoming events.
Attendees were also given a snapshot of the agency’s 2025 program outcomes, illustrating the scope and impact of services provided across the region.
In honor of the country’s 250th anniversary, this year's program was titled, "The Road to Independence." The title mirrors the core mission of Valley Youth House to guide and support vulnerable young people as they navigate their own individual journeys toward stability and self-sufficiency.
Bringing this theme to life, guests heard inspiring remarks from three youth speakers, Angelize, Roseylee, and Aniya, who shared their unique stories of finding their own roads to independence with the support and guidance of Valley Youth House staff.
In a fitting conclusion to the event, the Mission Impact Award was presented to all three of these courageous young speakers.
It was an incredible, inspiring event, and we want to thank all who attended and who continue to be a part of the amazing community we’re building!
