Shelley’s House is more than a nonprofit — we are a lifeline for youth and families in Maryland’s most underserved communities. Our mission is to break cycles of trauma, poverty, and disconnection by providing holistic mental health services, wellness workshops, and nature-based healing experiences. We create safe spaces for youth to process challenges, build resilience, and discover their potential.
Our programs address the full spectrum of well-being — from emotional and physical health to environmental education and financial literacy — empowering participants to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities. We partner with licensed professionals, local organizations, and grassroots leaders to ensure culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that meets people where they are.
Your support fuels this life-changing work. Every dollar helps us reach more youth, expand programming, provide transportation, and remove barriers to care. With your help, we can create lasting impact — not just for individuals, but for entire communities.

Invest in Shelley’s House today and be part of a movement that restores hope, builds strength, and transforms lives. Together, we can nurture the next generation — mind, body, and soul.
