CAPTAIN Youth and Family Services is a nonprofit in the field of individual and family services, based in Clifton Park, New York. Founded in 1977 by a group of concerned parents, the organization emerged from a grassroots effort to support troubled teens and has since positioned itself as an advocate for the evolving needs of youth and families in Saratoga County. Its programs address issues such as homelessness, poverty, youth violence, substance use, academic challenges, and family dysfunction through a combination of outreach, shelter, education, and emergency assistance services. The organization operates a range of direct services, including help lines, youth outreach, a runaway and homeless emergency shelter, youth development initiatives, afterschool programming, family development, and an emergency food pantry, all delivered to local residents in need. CAPTAIN’s work is organized around social, educational, and prevention programs designed to foster personal and social development among teens and families.
