Recently, we shared a FAQ detailing our Functional Family Therapy (FFT) program. To better understand the importance of this vital programming, we reached out to Courtney Krieger, a Therapist on our FFT staff.

Courtney was kind enough to have a conversation and discuss things like what drew her to Valley Youth House, why this program is so critical, what the most gratifying part of her job is, and much more.

Meet Courtney by reading our blog at the link below!

August is National Make a Will Month, a reminder of how important it is to protect the people and causes you hold dear.

Creating a clear, up-to-date estate plan is one of the greatest gifts of love and clarity you can give your family. It ensures your wishes are honored and gives your loved ones peace of mind, saving them from unnecessary stress, confusion, and burden down the road.

Beyond taking care of family, estate planning also allows you to champion the future of young people in your community.

In this video, Tom Harrington, our President & Executive Director, discusses his decision with his wife, Kathy, to join our planned giving society, The Catalyst Society.

Join Tom in securing your legacy at our website below.

Our 2nd Annual Central PA Golf Tournament is one month away! Taking place at Hershey Country Club on Monday, September 21, 2026, we have the privilege of honoring Michael R. Wilson, President and CEO of Members 1st Federal Credit Union, at the event.

Chaired by Wes Reohr, M.B.A., PAHM of our Presenting Sponsor Capital Blue Cross, this tournament will raise vital funds for our programs and services in the Central PA region. It is one of our fastest growing regions, underscoring both our success at reaching youth in the area as well as the increased needs.

There’s no better way to illustrate this than to see for yourself. This video, produced by Faces International, highlights our Central PA footprint and what your sponsorship will help support.

Last year, we raised over $226,000. Help us beat that number by joining the tournament at the link below.

Going to college or starting a career program should be an exciting step forward. But for young adults leaving foster care, that excitement can quickly turn into stress. Textbooks, class fees, and basic school supplies add up fast, and covering those costs can feel like an impossible obstacle.

When you give to Funding Futures, you're buying so much more than a textbook. You’re taking a huge weight off a young person's shoulders. You're helping them worry less about buying the essentials, so they can focus on their classes and building a life.

Just ask Jason, who was a recipient of Funding Futures donations last year. He said, "I’m a foster student, and don’t have the greatest support to fall back on, so I have to pay for things like textbooks on my own. The amount of money that Funding Futures was able to help me save truly made all the difference…it changes things for people."

Change a young person’s future by donating at the link below.

August is National Make-a-Will Month, and an ideal time to check off a task that will bring you and your loved ones a profound peace of mind.

Despite its importance, fewer than a third of Americans have a completed estate plan. Many people feel it is something to handle much later in life or assume it is only necessary for those with extensive wealth. In truth, an estate plan is important for anyone, regardless of their age or the size of their assets.

Having a clear plan in place saves your family from unnecessary confusion, financial stress, and costly legal processes during an already difficult time.

We encourage you to take a moment this month to reflect on your legacy and consider how a planned gift can make a lasting difference. Learn more at the link below.
