Seton Youth Shelters/Seton Youth Services

Dig this, everyone! New construction is underway at our future campus. Stay tuned for updates. While this is great news, we, like so many in our community, continue to face challenges in meeting program operating expenses for our lifesaving shelter, crisis counseling, outreach, and mentoring, which are always free to the more than 5,000 children and teens we serve each year. Every single gift matters. It's simple. We can't save them without YOU!

With gratitude,

Jennifer Sieracki, CEO

Hello everyone, when we say that children come to us at all hours of the day and night, and that they may have nothing but the clothes they are wearing with them, we mean it--literally. Please help us keep the girls and boys we shelter comfortably clothed this summer. Even one article of clothing will help. The need is urgent. Thanks in advance!
Jennifer Sieracki, CEO

Happy Monday, everyone!

Seton joins our community and our nation in celebrating Flag Day 2024!

Hello everyone,
Headed to the store this week? Please consider adding a cup, box, or bag of snacks, mac and cheese, cereal, or other healthy food items kids can safely prepare themselves to your cart to help the children and families we serve through our Mentoring Program avoid hunger this summer. In order to sort and pack our family food items in time for our June 1 Youth Day, please plan to donate by May 29, 2024, by contacting:
757.963.5795 x 107 or [email protected]

Many thanks to our volunteers from Virginia Wesleyan University and the Virginia Department of Forestry, who joined members of Seton's staff and Board of Directors for Phase II of Mission Greenspace, a sustainable landscape initiative at our new campus in central Virginia Beach.
