Burke Center for Youth is a nonprofit organization formed in 1973 to care for Texas children who are removed from their home environments due to abuse, neglect, or problems with the law. We are providing help and hope to children in crisis through our services. These are the children that belong to no one, and yet, they belong to us all. Help us to help these children in order that they may eventually belong in a family.
OUR MISSION with these children is to turn back the hands of time, and help them build self respect, self reliance, and self esteem.
OUR HOPE is to help them to unlock and melt away the pain and help them see that they are indeed loveable.
OUR GOAL is that they depart from here as productive, responsible citizens.
OUR WORK is to break the cycle of abuse and neglect..
We invite you to learn more about us and the youth we serve.
