💜 Today marks a very special milestone for Roy Maas Youth Alternatives—our 50th anniversary!🎂

On September 15, 1976, RMYA began with a vision to give children in crisis a safe place to heal. Today, that vision has grown into five decades of care, compassion, and commitment—touching the lives of tens of thousands of children and families along the way.

For 50 years, RMYA has been there for young people and families during some of life’s most difficult moments, helping them find safety, support, and hope.

This milestone belongs to everyone who has been part of our journey—our children and families, staff, volunteers, partners, donors, and community members who have believed in our mission and stood alongside us. To each of you, thank you for being part of RMYA’s story and for helping make 50 years of hope and healing possible.

Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come, the countless people who have shaped our journey, and all that lies ahead. Here’s to 50 years—and to carrying this legacy of hope and healing into the next 50! 💜

Behind every door at RMYA is a story of resilience.

Sometimes, healing starts with something small: a first step, a moment of connection, or the courage to trust.

We may not be able to share every story, but we see the courage behind them every day. At RMYA, we see young people finding safety, building trust, discovering their strengths, and taking steps toward brighter futures.
And we’ll keep showing up for every one of them. 💙
