About Us

The Girls Shelter of Fort Smith - A United Way Community Partner - opened in 1970 as a temporary emergency shelter. Since then, the Shelter has developed and grown onto a long-term residential treatment facility. The shelter is licensed for eight girls, ages 12 – 17 years old. The Girls Shelter strives to develop its residents into responsible citizens and community members.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere in a residential setting for at risk females aged 12 – 17 years; to promote positive behaviors, character enhancement, educational advancement, and to reunite with family.
