About Us

About The World House Youth and Family Development

We have been helping families through various types of support for the past 22 years. What started as a one-person company has now expanded due to the growing demand for our services.

Initially, we focused on mentoring within a single community, but we have since grown to address a wide range of cases. We are thrilled about the future and look forward to engaging in new EU projects and initiatives in the near future.

We are equally excited about expanding our team to meet the increasing number of cases coming our way. We look forward to building positive and rewarding collaborations in the near future.

The World House is approved as a social service provider under SEL §52 and §85, ensuring that we meet high standards in our work with both the public sector and the communities we serve. We collaborate closely with caseworkers, law enforcement, mental health services, substance abuse centers, job centers, and regional authorities to offer a coordinated and comprehensive approach to support.
