Supervision Programs
In-home Services

Since 1977 the Community Service Foundation (CSF) has been helping troubled youth referred by juvenile courts, children and youth agencies, and drug and alcohol commissions in eastern Pennsylvania. Our two distinct supervision programs, the Intensive Program and the Home and Community Supervision Program, provide specialized community-based, in-home services for dependent and delinquent youth aged 12–18 and their families.

For more information or to refer a student, please contact Craig Adamson at (215) 416-3723.

Both programs:

  • Work cooperatively with parents, probation officers, caseworkers and others to coordinate every aspect of the young person’s life, from school to psychotherapy
  • Provide in-home random drug and alcohol screenings, including on weekends and holidays
  • Provide an extra set of eyes and ears within the home for Probation and Children & Youth
  • Provide community service opportunities, as restitution and as restorative growth experiences

What’s different about our programs:

  • Young people thrive, making real, lasting changes that turn their lives around.
  • We have a rapid admissions process. Youth can start within a few days of referral.
  • We hold young people accountable for their behavior and support them at the same time.
  • We offer the option of supplemental alternative school/day treatment and/or group home service.
