Prairie Lakes Youth Programs

Prairie Lakes Youth Programs in Willmar, MN, provides residential treatment for male and female youth ages 10–21. Licensed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections, our continuum of care includes secure detention and secure corrections for youth ages 13–21, as well as home-like group homes for boys and girls ages 10–21. Youth can earn their way to a less restrictive program as they progress, when the court allows. We accept placements from any Minnesota county through law enforcement, the courts, probation, social services, and voluntary placement. Our evidence-based, trauma-informed care helps youth heal, build life skills, stay on track in school, and return to their communities ready to succeed. Serving Minnesota youth since 1991.
