This is done by assisting them with a stable treatment home and family, an exemplary helping staff, and a broader base of life enhancing skills that enable them to live more productive lives, and in turn provide more healthy and functional homes for the community tomorrow. |


| July 20, 2010 The Council on Accreditation (COA) is delighted to inform you that Youth Quest Inc. has been accredited. COA’s commitment to maintaining the highest level of standards and quality improvement is designed to identify providers that have set high performance standards for themselves and have made a commitment to their constituents to deliver the highest quality services. COA is proud to recognize Youth Quest Inc. as one of these outstanding providers. COA accreditation is an objective and reliable verification that provides confidence and support to an organization’s service recipients, board members, staff and community partners. The COA accreditation process involves a detailed review and analysis of both an organization’s administrative operations and its service delivery practices. All are “measured” against national standards of best practice. These standards emphasize services that are accessible, appropriate, culturally responsive, evidence based, and outcomes-oriented, In addition, they confirm that the services are provided by a skilled and supported workforce and that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. Because COA reviews and accredits the entire organization, not just specific programs, you can have confidence in the credibility, integrity and achievement of the entire organization of Youth Quest Inc. COA congratulates Youth Quest Inc. for their hard work and wonderful achievement and is proud to have it as part of COA’s Community of Excellence. |
