Youth, Family & Older Adult

Programs
At Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany, we believe in the sacred dignity of every person at every stage of life. Our Youth, Families & Older Adults Services provide a compassionate continuum of care that supports, strengthens, and empowers individuals and families throughout our communities.

For Youth & Families

For Youth & Families, we offer stability and opportunity through prevention, education, and supportive services. From parenting support and youth development to crisis intervention and helping families achieve self-sufficiency, we build foundations for brighter futures.

For Older Adults

For Older Adults, we champion independence, connection, and well-being. Our services reduce isolation, provide essential resources, and offer respectful care that honors a lifetime of contributions, allowing older neighbors to age with dignity in their communities.
Guided by faith and driven by compassion, we walk alongside our neighbors—from the youngest to the oldest—creating a network of support that fosters resilience, celebrates family, and uplifts every generation.
