Sea Haven Youth Care, Inc.

Sea Haven’s focus is on the homeless/at-risk youth and their families in the community. Contributions help support the activities of the Sea Haven Shelter Home, which houses young boys that may not be able to reside at home for one reason or another. In addition, their Transitional Living Program has moved forward by assisting young adults in making huge progress by finding and keeping jobs and settling into new homes. This program continues to offer supportive services in areas of vocational counseling, job seeking skills, health and medical issues, transportation, basic life and social skills, and much more. Currently their Outreach Program (Project Lighthouse) has students from Coastal Carolina University that volunteer to read with children from the Boys and Girls Club and Canal Street Recreation Center. They now have a new dance area to appeal to local art and dance programs. Through this creative learning, they hope to encourage youth to be positive and make better choices with their lives. The Street Outreach Program continues to help homeless youth find direction to move forward in and off the streets.
