Families are at the center of our society and surrounding them is the community.   

On the edge, where Children find the worst life has to offer, there is help from

Four Oaks.

 

Four things need to be in place for a child to have a successful future:

  • A Home      
  • A Sense of Family       
  • Treatment        
  • Education

Our mission statement says it all – We assure children become successful adults.

Children come to us with psychiatric and emotional problems and stay until they feel secure. Some children have been in trouble with the law, get into drugs or run away from home.  That’s when we work with them and try to lead them down a better path. Others can’t get along in school so we educate in a way that works. We find foster care and adoptive families for children all throughout the state, we have educational after-school programs and we counsel parents who need a helping hand. 

Four Oaks and its three affiliates, Affordable Housing Network, Jane Boyd Community House and Iowa KidsNet, serve more than 14,000 people annually throughout the state.  We are a proud partner in a successful flood-recovery project called Block by Block www.blockbyblockcr.org   

Four Oaks is headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children, Inc. Our Iowa City site is a member of the Johnson County United Way.

Together, we can build a future for troubled children of Iowa.  Expect Success.
