AGENCY AFFILIATIONS
If it takes a village to raise a child...
let's make a village!
Ocean's Harbor House recognizes that our mission requires our organization to impact on the lives of children, youth and families on more than just a local level. We must take a leadership role in helping to shape state and national policy that recognizes the needs of our youth and commits to developing comprehensive solutions that will address the challenges faced by these young people.
To this end, our agency maintains memberships and affiliations with a variety of youth advocacy and development organizations and groups. Four of these partnerships are listed below.
