What United Methodist Youth Home does

United Methodist Youth Home (UMYH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, founded January 18, 1979, that serves at-risk youth who have experienced abuse, poverty, crime, and trauma. The organization operates a portfolio of residential and community-based programs including a Residential Program for full-time housing and therapeutic care, Day Education for daytime academic instruction, Truancy Intervention, Community Outpatient Therapy, a Wellness Program, and an Independent Living Program preparing older youth for adult life. UMYH serves 200+ young people annually and has operated continuously for over 40 years.

UMYH operates a dual revenue model combining donations and charitable contributions with program service revenue. The organization generates funding through individual donations, corporate partnerships, capital campaigns, and program service contracts. It maintains a formal Corporate Partnership Program with named local and regional partners including Amcor, Schneider Financial, McMahon Exterminating, New Horizons Financial Consultants, ATA, DataMail, and AETS. A current capital campaign for the Diane Schroeder Health & Wellness Center had raised $289,325 of its $335,000 goal as of the most recent reporting window, against a total project budget of approximately $500,000.

The organization holds 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (EIN 31-0951608), BBB Wise Giving Alliance accreditation, a GuideStar Candid Transparency Seal, and Council on Accreditation (COA) credentials. Leadership includes Executive Director Kelly Salee (20+ year tenure), Director of Development Shelby Harder, and Girls Group Home Manager Andria Winstead. A new Diane Schroeder Health & Wellness Center broke ground in November 2025 with anticipated completion in Summer 2026, expanding the campus's wellness, recreational, social-emotional learning, and hygiene processing infrastructure. The organization employs 11–50 staff and operates entirely from a single Evansville campus serving the regional Midwest market.
