About Us
Our purpose is to provide a comprehensive support system for these at-risk youth. We are dedicated to offering them a helping hand, a listening ear, and a caring heart throughout their journey to overcome adversity. We believe that by addressing their specific needs and empowering them with the tools and resources they require, we can help them thrive and break the cycle of disadvantage.
​
At Savannah Smiles Youth Services, we understand that the term "at risk" can encompass a wide range of circumstances and challenges. It might refer our youth facing issues such as poverty, abuse, neglect, educational disadvantages, health challenges, or emotional struggles. We embrace the diversity of these challenges, recognizing that each child's journey is unique.
"Every child dealing with addiction in the family deserves the right to a better path."
Jennifer Arnold-Brazell, Co-Founder/Director
Our mission is to make a positive impact in the lives of children who are at risk. We believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of the challenges they may face.

Savannah Smiles Referral
We provide the means to therapy and group sessions to children regardless if they are uninsured or underinsured. Our program will give the children access to many fun activities, including art therapy, outdoor events, a mentorship program, and educational offerings. Savannah Smiles Youth Services volunteers also include a nurse educator, art teachers, art therapists and more. Our programs provide the means to coping mechanisms, as well as support through a group of their own peers that have shared the same experiences.
In memory of Savannah Stephens
1990-2020
Savannah Smiles Foundation was created in Honor of Savannah Stephens who was a loving mother, daughter, and friend to so many within the community. Savannah fought addiction for 9 years and throughout her battle, she never stopped trying to help others. She lost her fight in March 2020, but the foundation will carry on her fight and make a difference in the lives of the children within our community.
