The Anchor House team joined by special guest Darryl Rivers, VP Community Relations Manager for Bank of America, celebrate Anchor House’s 46th birthday and commemorate National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

On April 1, Anchor House celebrated our 46th birthday. Do you know the origin story of Anchor House? Did you know that our birthday also occurs during National Child Abuse Prevention Month?

Veronica Tucker is an Anchor House intern who is studying social work at the University of Louisville.

Anchor House is fortunate to have both undergraduate and graduate students serving as interns over the years. One of our goals is to create career paths for interns. Many of our previous interns are now staff at Anchor House, including our Executive Director, Director of Youth Services, Connect to Home Case Manager, and Coordinated Entry Assessment System (CEAS) Case Manager. We are spotlighting one of our current interns, Veronica Tucker, and her experience at Anchor House.

Have you checked out Anchor House’s 2023 Impact Report? The report showcases the incredible impact that your support has had on the lives of the youth and young adults we serve. Put simply, we couldn't do this important work without you, and as this year’s report theme reminds us, it is truly “Together We Shine!”

Anchor House helps to prevent and end youth homelessness and prepares youth to live productive and independent lives. Responding to critical needs in the community, Anchor House provides the only youth shelter, transitional living, and street outreach program targeting youth in Mercer County, and one of two supportive housing programs in the county for young adults. Our mission is to provide a safe haven where abused, runaway, homeless and at-risk youth and their families are empowered to succeed and thrive. From emergency shelter to transitional and permanent housing, Anchor House works to ensure our young people have a safe home as well as supportive and educational services for a better future.
