Our Story

Formerly known as the SALVATION OF YOUTH, Pine Haven was begun when a group of Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Jewish citizens met with the Somascan Fathers to provide a home for at-risk boys.

Pine Haven was established in 1963.

Pine Haven’s beginning was the product of cooperation and volunteer effort. Currently such cooperation is continuing through a volunteer Board of Directors.

Pine Haven was incorporated on September 26, 1969.

More than 600 students were admitted to our Programs throughout the years.
