OUR HISTORY

Supporting youth in Lexington since 1976

In 1976, the Junior League of Lexington and the Orphan’s Society of Lexington, in partnership with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government had the vision to support youth in transition by opening a coed adolescent group home in a Fourth Street duplex in Lexington.

For more than 40 years, Arbor Youth Services has continued to support youth by providing a safe environment and compassionate staff during kids’ most vulnerable time of need.

“I was given no other option when my grandmother didn’t want me. I went to the Arbor Youth, it was such a blessing to be there. They brought me in and gave me everything I could need as a 15 year old man.”
