PGH
provides care for ten girls. All of which attend public
school with supplementary tutoring provided by PGH
in conjunction with the local school system.
Residents
earn privileges depending on age and behavior. Residents
participate in school activities and clubs. Each resident
completes a weekly chore and receives a small allowance.
WHERE
ARE PAST RESIDENTS NOW?
Former
residents include legal assistants, nurses, waitresses,
bank tellers, retail sales people, bank branch managers,
cooks, food managers, child-care providers, auto mechanics,
ambulance attendants, cashiers and real estate agents.
During the past twenty-five years, many hundreds of
teens have been served by PGH, and have entered virtually
every career.
Many
of our residents have attended college, including
Briarwood, Albertus Magnus, Yale, UConn, Boston U.,
and SCSU, Tunxis and Teikyo Post. Not all former residents
have pursued this path, but most are doing well, and
are happy, productive citizens of our community.
Plainville
Group Home has been successful in impacting the lives
of many young women. However, it is not possible without
the assistance of our many volunteers and contributors.
It is this collective effort between PGH Staff, Board
of Managers, volunteers and contributors which make
the saying "It takes a whole village to raise
a child" certainly true with the children and
youth that PGH must provide for.
