Eligible for admission are females between the ages of 14 to 18 who are suffering from emotional problems and in need of a nurturing environment, providing structure and supervision.

Adolescent girls may apply to Project Return by calling us and making an appointment to interview with the Executive Director. Also, parents, therapists, social workers, hospital staff, guardians and legal professionals may contact us regarding a girl who may benefit from our program. Initial interviews are held at the house and are a time to talk about the prospective resident's current challenges and goals.

After this interview, if the applicant is eligible to live at Project Return and wishes to learn more about the program, a second longer placement meeting is scheduled in which the prospective resident meets other staff and residents and observes daily activities of the house including joining us for dinner. This is a good chance for a girl to imagine herself fitting in to the Project Return community. Staff will be happy to answer any questions regarding the Guidelines for Living at Project Return.

We are also glad to send you literature on Project Return, or you can fax us information on a specific adolescent girl needing help. Contact us!
