EmberHope Youthville San Antonio

Our Story

With a 90-year legacy of providing quality services to children in foster and residential care, originally known as United Methodist Youthville and later as Youthville, our organization was renamed EmberHope in 2013 to encompass our expanding services in counseling and independent living. All of our programs aim to spark change and enable people of all ages to improve their lives.

An ember ignites, creating a spark, which symbolizes the point at which a life is ready for change. Long after the fire fades, an ember burns waiting for an opportunity to spark a new flame. An ember is the first breath. If there is an ember, there is hope.

EmberHope is a nonprofit, faith-based agency providing infrastructure and support to inspire hope in thousands of at-risk youth and families each year. Our employees use evidence-based practices focusing on the needs of the individual so they can be the catalyst of change.

We are supporting a community of hope.
