Ward Home Employee Directory

Ward Home was established in 1905, by Robert B. Ward as a Methodist mission to provide a safe-haven for children who had no place to call home. Our focus on supporting and sheltering teens as they grow to independence began in the 1970s as we responded to an increasing number of teenagers who were unlikely to be reunited with their biological famil... ies or adopted. Ward Home began to explore independent living as an option for teens, and in 1987, our Supervised Independent Living Program began.
