Agape for Youth, Inc. was founded in 1989 in order to place children into foster homes which could guide and support youth in becoming successful members of society. The 2010 Better Business Bureau Eclipse Integrity Award winner has expanded their services to include family foster care, adoption services and ongoing supportive services to adoptive families in southwest Ohio. In 2008, Agape was awarded a grant, and began offering reunification services; working with families whose children are making the transition from out of home care back to their biological family. The Agape offices are located at 2621 Dryden Road in Dayton, Ohio.
