About Baayfs Inc. - our Philosophy and Mission
The Bay Area Alliance for Youth and Family Services is a 501(C)(3) non-profit Public Benefit Agency founded in January, 2002, to provide quality educational, residential and support services for adolescent girls who are removed from their family homes due to abuse and neglect.
The philosophy of the program is based on the work of three influential educators: Viktor Fankl's "Man's Search for Meaning", Benjamin Singer's "The Future Focused Role Image", and Frederick Polak's "The Image of the Future". Frankl's message is based on his prison experience at Auschwitz where he discovered that it is essential to have meaning and significance and a purpose for which to live. Polak's research maintains that individuals with vision are powerfully enabled while individuals without vision are at risk. Singer identified that the power of a child's vision combined with the support of a loving and caring community can motivate success and overcome adversity and hardship.
Our mission is to provide a caring and supportive community that endeavors to instill in each girl who comes through our doors a sense of meaning, significance, purpose and vision.
