Cayuga Centers

Cayuga Centers began as the Cayuga Asylum for Destitute Children in 1852, an orphanage for children who could not be dependent on their own families. The name was changed to Cayuga Home for Children in 1913.

In 1954, the mission changed to focus on serving youth in the Family Court System, and the Board moved to adopt the then brand-new cottage model for residential treatment for youth.

The agency, now Cayuga Centers, continues its Residential Treatment Center at the organization’s headquarters in Auburn, NY.

Treatment focuses changed during the 1990’s, and Cayuga Centers was at the forefront of implementing treatment programs using evidence-based models that provided measurable and long-term successful outcomes.

Beyond Residential Treatment, Cayuga Centers added Foster Care and Community-Based Interventions such as Family Resiliency programs, Functional Family Therapy and Multisystemic Therapy, and Services for People with Developmental Disabilities.

Today, Cayuga Centers services extend across New York State, Delaware and Palm Beach County, Florida. The agency has earned national recognition for implementing evidence-based treatment programs that successfully address youth and family life issues.
