WELCOME TO TOUCHSTONE VILLAGE
SET NEW STANDARDS FOR LIFE

 

Touchstone Village is a unique campus combining Transitional Living and Independent Living programs into a single, contiguous program.

Our program is designed for the 16 to 21 year olds who have come through the Youth Crisis Center emergency shelter, who are in foster care or are aging out of foster care and haven't yet attained the life skills necessary for today's complex society.

On March 26, 2008 we broke ground and construction will be completed on the three buildings comprising Touchstone Village in the Fall 2009.

Please check back for updates as construction continues. And please contact us if you feel you can help support bringing this vision to reality.
