Youth Evaluation and Treatment Centers (YETC) began its mission in 1974 as a small group home for youth referred by the Maricopa County Juvenile Court. Over the years, through good times and bad, our organization has grown and prospered. While the names and faces of our staff and leadership have changed many times over, the commitment and focus on serving at-risk youth and families has remained steady. The guiding principles developed by early leaders and built upon by succeeding generations of committed Directors and Staff have been held sacred, resistant to compromise or surrender. YETC has matured into a prominent and respected agency in Arizona's Youth Services community.

The services that are provided today evolved with the          ever-changing needs of our consumers and clients. We are vigilant in our efforts to provide youth and families with the very best care, employing the most advanced skills and expertise that our resources allow. The continuum of services and programs that YETC now provides are different from those of a decade ago, and will continue to grow and improve as we move forward into the new century.
