CASA/Youth Advocates was founded in 1992 by Delaware County,PA leaders who recognized the dangers of children languishing in foster care and spending critical years being bounced around from placement to placement without ever really having a place to call "home." Our volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are trained and supervised by our professional staff to advocate on behalf of such children. Our primary goal is to facilitate vulnerable children's placement in safe permanent homes where they can reach their full potential. We expanded to Chester County in 2015.

Tools4Teens was started by retired physician and lifelong inventor/mechanic/artist, Greg Meyers, who has made it his mission to promote teen technical mentorship. He has developed a program to foster this idea in hopes that it would become a success and expand in the future, possibly at technology venues frequented by youth (perhaps again at the Minnesota State Fair, home shows and hot rod shows).

At Mogul Academy, they believe the youth can not imagine greatness unless they see it. They also believe that the great leaders of the day need to meet the leaders of the future. The connection can impact both realms and activate the change the world needs. Mogul Academy is an online, in-classroom and digital holistic mentoring program that strives to lessen the opportunity gap between school, home and the neighborhood through entertaining real-world entrepreneurial experiences.

Gerard's House is a safe place for grieving children and teenagers where healing happens through acceptance and peer support. Our goal is to help children, teens and families heal when their lives have been changed by a loved one’s death or other significant losses. We support them through natural grieving processes, to enable them to regain hope, stabilize physically and emotionally, and re-engage in their schools, families and lives. A priority is removing barriers to participation for the most vulnerable individuals so that they can receive real help as they grapple with unimaginable losses. We do that through outreach, by providing a mobile unit for home visits, by offering programs in schools and by support children whose families have come from Mexico and Central America.

The Patrick Chege Memorial Orphanage, located in Nakuru Kenya, is dedicated to the memory of Patrick Chege, a man who devoted his life to helping those less fortunate than he. The Chege Orphanage currently provides a home to 21 children who have been orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. We strive to vastly improve their lives by providing food, shelter, medical care, and a sound education. Education is the foundation on which they will build new lives. Our goal is to ensure that each girl and boy will receive post-secondary schooling, attending either university or technical school. The Chege Orphanage children primarily range in age from seven to 17, though our newest addition is just one year old. The school curriculum includes classes in Swahili, English, mathematics, science and geography. Children also receive piano lessons on the Orphanage piano, a generous gift from a Kenya-based supporter. We believe the study of music and the arts in general are an integral part of the children's development as learners and critical thinkers, and should not be overlooked. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
