The Foundation of our Legacy
Our Difference
We strive to create a ripple effect of love, optimism, and a genuine passion for life. We inspire young men to embrace their full potential, empowering them to navigate the trauma and challenges they're facing with courage, determination, and an unwavering belief in their own worth.
Our Inspiration
Brad's House is more than a place; it's a living tribute to a remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on the world. Founded in memory of Brad Barton, a person whose passion for life touched countless hearts, our mission is to carry forward his spirit of optimism, love, and passion for life with every child that enters our doors.
Our Story
Recognizing the crucial need for youth support networks in southern Colorado, Nicholas Thompson embarked on a mission after years of collaborating with a local organization. Following months of meticulous planning, fundraising, and coordination with state agencies, Brad's House emerged as a beacon of hope, officially opening its doors in November 2017.
Nestled in the heart of Monument, Colorado, Brad's House extends its compassionate reach to boys aged 10-14 who have endured abuse, neglect, behavioral challenges, or untreated mental health issues. Many of these young individuals find solace within our walls for a period ranging from six months to two years, eventually culminating in their reunification with family or becoming eligible for foster care/adoption.
How (and where) We Operate
Brad's House is a non-profit program for underprivileged young men that serves as a trauma-informed care facility within multiple regions throughout Colorado. Our mission is to connect, engage, and to create safe spaces for one of the most underserved population of children within the foster care system.
