Photos: 1. Organizations such as the Tampa Bay Rays partner with Children’s Village and
Sallie House to provide needs throughout the year. 2. Children’s Village and Sallie House
provide an opportunity for sibling groups to stay together, which can be difficult to do
in a more traditional foster care setting. 3. Sallie House sleeps up to 24 children at one
time. 4. Youth have the opportunity to go on field trips and gain other privileges through
an ongoing levels-based behavioral system. 5. Teens at Children’s Village get to decorate
their own rooms.
