Virginia Home for Boys and Girls is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Henrico, Virginia, with a history dating back to 1846. It serves youth facing emotional and behavioral health challenges by providing transitional living, specialized education, and therapeutic resources. The organization operates group homes, independent living apartments, a K-12 school named John G. Wood, and a therapeutic resource center, all guided by a trauma-informed, relationship-based cognitive-behavioral care framework. Its work centers on youth and families across Virginia, aiming to restore hope and help young people build the skills to thrive. A notable recent development is the Pride Place initiative, launched in 2020 in partnership with Side by Side to support LGBTQ+ young people experiencing homelessness.
