Through the combined generosity of our Educational Consultants, Programs, and Donors, SavingTeens has recently matched two struggling teens with appropriate therapeutic boarding school placements.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, the fourteen year old boy transitioned from wilderness to The High Frontier in Fort Davis, Texas. Educational Consultant Michelle Grappo referred this young man’s parents to SavingTeens after a long relationship. A generous scholarship from The High Frontier, along with SavingTeens funds, made the difference for this family, enabling them to stretch their dollars enough to place their son.

The fifteen year old girl transitioned to a therapeutic boarding school in Arizona the week before Thanksgiving, after an extended stay at wilderness and a step-down program. Educational Consultant Gail Curran referred this family to SavingTeens after extensive intervention. The program is partnering with SavingTeens to provide a scholarship to the family through the length of their stay.

These partnerships could not happen without the generous donations raised through our Annual Appeal. Funds raised through end-of-year giving are crucial in supporting our scholarships into 2016. Please give as generously as you can; the need is great.
