The Children's Campus is an affiliate of Family & Children's Center.
Founded in the 19th century, Family & Children's Center is one of northern Indiana's oldest nonprofit institutions and marked its 125th year of service in 2007. Family & Children's Center traces its history to the founding of an orphanage in Mishawaka, Indiana, in the year 1882. In that year, the local chapter of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union founded the Orphan's Home Association of St. Joseph County. The home provided temporary shelter to orphaned or unwanted children while suitable permanent homes were being sought for them. At the time, this practice often involved sending children on long and lonely railroad trips - sometimes called "orphan trains" - to new families living on the western frontier. During its first 18 months, the home served more than 80 children.
Enjoy the following tour of the various facilities and ammenities on our campus and group home sites.

The Children's Campus has developed a new, strength-based Transitional Living Program (TLP) designed to help at-risk youth transition from dependence to complete independence. Training and support will be given to youth as they move along a continuum of self-sufficiency, learning to handle greater responsibility and working to set and achieve vocational and educational goals. This program is run by qualified staff who will provide case management services, independent living skills training, access to community resources, and support and guidance during this challenging time in the youths' lives.
TLP serves:
• Youth ages 16-21
• Runaway and homeless youth
• Youth who are emancipated or receive concent from their legal guardians to participate; youth who cannot be wards of the court or state.
• Pregnant or parenting youth.
All youth and TLP staff are housed at a local apartment complex.
The complex is located approximately 1.5 miles from The Children's Campus®. The complex was chosen for its safe and well maintained facilities. Residents will live alone in one or two bedroom apartments that will be furnished and supplied with the basic necessities for independent living.
