Helping KIDS and families SOAR
As a nonprofit social service organization, we do whatever it takes to empower high-risk children, their families and communities throughout Virginia. From addressing behavioral and emotional issues to finding foster homes, UMFS never gives up.
Our Mission
Make a Difference Today
When you make a donation to UMFS, you become an unwavering champion for high-risk children and families across Virginia. Your donation makes a tremendous impact, empowering high-risk children to reach their full potential.
Children like Mikey.
Mikey got into trouble when he was just 14. He ultimately landed in a maximum security juvenile detention facility, but thanks to a new partnership with the Department of Juvenile Justice, Mikey was able to come to UMFS and get the therapy and healing he so desperately needed. At UMFS, hope was restored. In June, Mikey proudly completed his treatment and graduated from high school, ready for the next chapter of his life.
Your donation will help more high-risk children like Mikey achieve a brighter future.

Embracing the Chance to Dance
Twelve-year-old Kenyon stands shoeless atop the sprawling padded mat that blankets the dance studio floor. He takes a breath, leans forward, places his hands on his knees and bends an ear toward his dance instructor, Justin Holloway. Kenyon’s eyes are fixed on Justin.
