Kemp Mill Boys’ Group Home is nestled in a quiet, family oriented community in Silver Spring, Maryland. The peaceful surroundings allow for reflective work by the clients and reduce the distractions and temptations that were present in the boys’ previous life situations. The young men attend community schools and hold part time jobs with many of the local merchants. They are also encouraged to utilize the extensive resources that both the program and the community offer. The professional staff provides 24 hour supervision and the necessary support to help the youth resolve long standing issues and build the appropriate life skills that will ensure a successful transition into adulthood.
