A Human Services Corporation Corporate Offices Who we are, What we do... Creative Alternatives is a non-profit organization based in the Central Valley of California. Our primary activities include the operation of residential care homes for children, the placement of children in private homes, and the running of non-public SED schools. Creative Alternatives has been designed to provide what its name implies... an alternative to the institutionalization of children. Our programs are individualized to meet the needs of each child. Historical Sketch Creative Alternatives was founded in 1976 by Mary and Ron Phillips in Hughson, California. The focus of the organization, then and now, was to provide a nurturing living environment for troubled children. In 1988 the leadership of Creative Alternatives was assumed by J.A. Novack who acted as Executive Director until his retirement in December 2000. He was replaced by Blane Franca who has been with Creative Alternatives since its creation. The growth of Creative Alternatives has continued in an orderly fashion since its inception. We currently have group homes in four communities in the Central Valley of Northern California. Our Foster Family Program and non-public school program have also experienced a similar rate of planned growth. Our 250 plus employees, many of them local college students, have provided us with a committed and capable work force. Many have gone on to careers in child psychology and other associated fields. In our thirty years of operation Creative Alternatives continues to be a force for intelligent, caring, and competent service to troubled children. |
