Every year Alexander Youth Network serves approximately 8,800 children ages 5-18 in more than a dozen programs in North Carolina.  Alexander’s mission is to provide quality professional treatment to children with serious emotional and behavioral problems. We deliver an effective and efficient array of services, enabling children and their families to exercise self-determination, achieve their potential, and become positive contributors to society.

Alexander was founded in 1888 in Charlotte as a women and children’s rescue mission. In 1946, the agency began serving children with emotional and behavioral problems.  These kids with challenges need foster parents.  There are more kids than homes for them so they are looking for adults with big hearts to welcome them into a loving home.
