The Mel Blount Youth Home of PA: Our Programs
The Mel Blount Youth Home is managed by a team of professional care givers.
Each employee is carefully screened and trained to insure that boys are nurtured and educated by skilled people with sound ethical and moral
judgment. The result is that the group home exceeds all state and federal regulations governing the appropriate care of youth.
As surrogate "parents" to as many as twenty-four boys from disadvantaged backgrounds, staff members at The Mel Blount Youth Home face some difficult challenges. In their quest to help the children mature educationally, emotionally, spiritually and physically, they work continually to improve the program. Every teacher, counselor and farm/work supervisor brings unique qualifications and compassionate hearts to the home, sharing a strong desire to make a positive difference in each boy's life. Their primary goal is, and has always been, to make The Mel Blount Youth Home a place where troubled youngsters can grow into young men of strong Christian character.
The Youth Home also provides the following programs:
- Golf
- Football Camps
- Hiking
- Rodeo
- Ropes Courses
- Horseback riding
"...the vision I have here is kids enjoying their childhood and learning about Christ, becoming educated and really building a foundation to become great leaders for tomorrow." Mel Blount
We at the Mel Blount Youth Home wish to extend our gratitude to everyone who continues to support us throughout the year. Each donation enables us to provide the special care and attention these young men so desperately need.
There are many ways in which individuals or companies are able to assist us in our mission, in addition to financial support. We welcome indiviudals who could utilize talents, resources and time in their areas of expertise (i.e. computer programming, wood working, managing finances, farming, gardening and educational programs). Another way would be to contribute basic items throughout the year such as:
- Twin sized sheets
- Blankets
- Pillows
- Bath Towels
- Wash Cloths
- Book Bags
- Alarm Clocks
- Educational Aides

- School Supplies
- Board Games
