Our Story
Since 1844, Youth and Family Outreach has been dedicated to meeting the needs of Portland's children and families. Originating as a community outreach mission, YFO has evolved to address critical community needs, from establishing Maine's first adult education school to creating the Beacon Teen Center for homeless youth. Today, YFO operates an accredited early care and education facility, ensuring that children from low-income families receive the support they need to thrive.
