Our MISSION is to offer exceptional care and treatment to "Hard to Place" children currently in foster care, with the underlying belief that every child can be helped.
Our GOAL is to restore the joy and vitality of childhood in children who have not been afforded this basic right, and to transform maladaptive behaviors into resilience.

Our VISION is to be at the cutting edge of our industry by developing and initiating new ways of thinking. As New York State's newest licensed "Agency Boarding Home" we are setting trends and defining "what's next" by continually exploring new ways of thinking about how we serve our children and their families.
St. John Bosco aims to be a place where people enjoy working and where they feel - and see- that they are making a difference.
St. John Bosco was inspired by the children and families whose needs exhaust the foster care system and whose lives revolve in a cycle of crisis. Despite the myriad of social services available, issues of violence, substance abuse, mental illness and poverty permeate and undermine the intimate relationships between a parent and child, leaving children to exist on the fringe of deplorable and/or dangerous lives.
At St. John Bosco we aspire to embrace these families, and their children, without judgment; serving without conditions and forging relationships that ignite hope and resilience. Our ultimate goal is reunification of the children with their families, and their return to a life where they feel productive, safe and valued.
