Together for Youth
A mission to strengthen children and families was born in 1886 when Catherine Burnham, wife of Frederick G. Burnham, convinced her husband that raising children would be a better use of their 580 acres in Canaan, New York, than raising cattle. It was then that the Burnham’s created a refuge for what were then called “wayward boys.” The idea that the Farm represented a family, rather than an institution, was a major factor in its success and its powerful influence on the boys’ lives.
The Burnham Family’s vision and personal commitment to making a difference in children’s lives led to what is known today as Berkshire Farm Center & Services for Youth, one of New York State’s largest and most impactful child welfare agencies serving over 2,000 children and families every day.
?
Strengthening these children and families so they can live safely, independently and productively within their home community is our life’s mission.
?
All available records for the period of 1886-present are held at the New York State Archives located in Albany, NY.
