A place where compassion leads the way, where protection brings comfort, and where hope is nurtured every single day. Our mission is to help children and their families find stability, strength, and a path forward—because every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and shine. The Florida Keys Children’s Shelter is more than just a safe place to stay. Since 1985, our residential and community-based programs have supported thousands of children and families throughout the Florida Keys during challenging times. We are dedicated to providing thoughtful, effective care for children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, neglect, family conflict, or crisis. Whether a child needs short-term shelter, counseling, guidance, or family support services, we are here with solutions that restore confidence, rebuild connections, and create brighter futures.
