Core offering

Volunteers of America, Dakotas is a nonprofit human services organization delivering behavioral health counseling, substance use treatment, intellectual and developmental disability supports, youth development programs, and homelessness services in the Sioux Falls area and across 21 counties in southeastern South Dakota. Services include outpatient mental health counseling, residential substance use treatment for pregnant and parenting women, transitional housing for homeless youth and veterans, family support coordination, and evidence-based prevention training.

Product overview

Volunteer of America Dakotas is a nonprofit organization offering a portfolio of human services programs rather than a unified technology product. The organization operates four core service divisions: Behavioral Health Services (including mental health counseling, substance use treatment, and prevention resources), Children Youth & Families Services (out-of-school time programs and Camp POSTCARD), Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Services (family support, shared living, residential and day services under CHOICES), and Homelessness Services (Axis180 housing, Berakhah House for veterans, HomePlace facility). Programs are delivered through direct service delivery and community partnerships, not through a software platform architecture.
