“The mission of bald ridge lodge (brl) is to provide safe and stable support to young men in the group home, independent living program, and community based services, in a manner that nurtures the youth, strengthens healthy relationships, and aids young men in their transition to adulthood. This is accomplished through partnerships with caregivers and a community seeking to care for its own. Brl works toward the goal that young men impacted by trauma become thriving, self-sufficient adults who stop a generational cycle of involvement in and dependence on social services. We believe we can change lives. We believe that providing a safe and nurturing homelike environment is essential to the care and wellbeing of our boys. We believe that supporting the boys in transitioning out of foster care is imperative to their future success as adults. We believe in the power of bringing the resources of the community together. We believe that it is a privilege to work with, and on behalf of, our youth.”
