GLOVE HOUSE INC

Glove House serves youth and families from 15 New York State counties. We encourage change by reigniting hope, guiding children and empowering families to live successfully through locally provided services: crisis stabilization, prevention, counseling, advocacy, and the creation of positive learning environments. Glove House was founded in 1970 by Norman "Chuck" Jennings, a professional boxer, along with his wife, Nellie, and the community of Elmira, NY. They recognized there were boys in Elmira who had no place to call home and lacked a plan for a sustainable future. And so, the doors of Glove House opened to 7 teenage boys. Over time, the communities we serve have grown and evolved as has how we serve them, now focusing on keeping youth in their homes providing wrap-around care through a variety of programs. Today Glove House serves approximately 540 youth and adults through person-centered, trauma-informed approaches.
