A "purpose statement" from the original board of the shelter

"The purpose of the Mid Ohio Valley Regional Youth Services Corporation is to identify youth service projects needed in this area and to assist the community in providing these services. In this regard, the MOVRYSC has established a thirty day emergency shelter for troubled youth (Shelter Care Facility) who are in need of a temporary place to stay for whatever reason. Currently, the MOVRYSC is working with the Wood County Board of Education in an attempt to establish an alternative school. The MOVRYSC is available to coordinating agencies such as the Wood County Commission on Crime, Delinquency and Corrections for the implementation of projects identified by such agencies."
