Avanti Center

We help youth struggling with their mental health break through barriers to see a path forward.

Avanti is a non-profit residential treatment center for youth ages 12-17 in and around Minnesota. We serve youth whose sex is assigned as female (trans and non-binary inclusive) and who are experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges. We offer treatment programs designed to meet the unique needs of each resident and, when possible, families play a large role in treatment and are supported in their contributions to help their loved one recover.

Together, we can do more.

We believe that there is always a path forward, and we couldn't do what we do without your partnership. A donation to Avanti is an investment in young peoples' futures. Here are a few examples of what your support could provide:

• New items for unit activities such as books, art supplies, games, and recreational supplies.
• Snacks and other tokens of gratitude for our staff members. We truly couldn't operate this program without our dedicated employees!
• Gifts and holiday celebrations for residents, some of whom don't have families to go to for the holidays. 

Avanti is a program of Volunteers of America Minnesota and Wisconsin. Learn more.
