Youth Villages stories

CHARLOTTE – Youth Villages is seeking Holiday Heroes for more than 400 children who are receiving care in North Carolina. A Holiday Hero helps fulfill the holiday wish list for a child who has experienced trauma or has a history of emotional or behavioral health issues. To learn more and become a Holiday Hero, individuals, families, or groups may request a child’s wish list by visiting  www.youthvillages.org/holidayheroes and selecting North Carolina. Holiday Heroes also have the option to donate or shop to fulfill youth holiday wishes. Any of our local offices can assist you.

A $100 donation will cover a child’s complete holiday wish list. However, Youth Villages is thankful for any donation amount.
