Agency Profile
The Somerset Home is centrally located in New Jersey and serves runaway and homeless youth from New York to Philadelphia. This web site is designed to give viewers an in-depth view of the agency, its management, funding, and services to youth and their families. It also explores volunteer opportunities and how the community has contributed to the agency.
Volunteers add great value to the work of the agency. The Board of Trustees assists the senior staff in the management of the affairs of the agency. Direct service volunteers lend a hand in a variety of ways, from helping supervise youth on recreation trips, to organizing arts and crafts projects, to serving on one of our special event fundraising committees and more. Volunteers may also donate funds or items to financially assist the agency.

adolescenceSomerset Home raises more than $3.5 million each year for all of its programs. The largest program offered by Somerset Home is Brahma House, where youth ages 13-17, spend an average of three to four weeks while case managers and therapists develop a plan to assist the individual child and their family. Brahma House has served more than 200 homeless youth this past year.
The Passages, Pathways, My Place and Whitney House programs worked with over 300 youth, ages 16-21, last year. These programs assist older adolescents in the successful transition to adulthood by helping them obtain employment, finish their last year of high school, enroll and begin post-secondary education, prevent pregnancy, reduce the incidence of AIDS, save money, and apply for the necessary scholarships that will help them further their education.
