Seton Youth Shelters provides 24-hour emergency shelter for youth ages 9 to 18 years. This program serves runaway/homeless youth and youth in crisis within their family, school and/or community. Seton Youth Shelters operates two shelters in Virginia Beach, one for boys and the other for girls.

In our shelters, residents are provided youth advocacy and individual/family crisis counseling. Case management activities facilitate coordination of services, community referrals and aftercare follow-up. Youth who enter the shelter program attend local public schools, unless their parents provide transportation to their home school. Youth who are unable to attend school receive homebound education from a licensed teacher.

Our shelters also provide community-based psycho-educational groups that address a variety of topics and serve to increase youth awareness of community resources. For further information contact: Boy's Shelter at 498-4673 or Girl's Shelter at 306-1840.
