Our mission is to provide high quality residential care in a Christian environment for children from families in crisis, primarily from the greater Houston area.

Boys and Girls Country provides a warm, loving, family-like atmosphere where children have the opportunity to grow up safe, secure, and develop to their full potential. Residents live on campus in cottages with trained house-parents and attend public school. They also participate in outside activities such as church, band, sports, summer camps, etc. http://www.boysandgirlscountry.org/
