RHY Program 24-Hour Hotline: 315-866-1112

RHY works with runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth up to the age of 21. Services include: a 24-hour crisis hotline; emergency housing; crisis and on-going counseling for youth and families; transportation; independent living skills; referrals; academic tutoring; and advocacy. Services are provided within an asset-based framework that identifies and supports the youth's strengths.

The program provides a safe and positive way for children to visit with their non-custodial parent as their families go through a difficult and transitional time. Families are directed to the program through a court order. Supervised visitations take place in a private, child-friendly room which is monitored by a trained supervisor who is neutral to the family situation.
