Douglas Jacquet
Founder & Program Director
As the founder of Ember Haven Youth Services, my mission is to create a safe, structured, and supportive environment where young girls can feel secure and begin to grow. I currently work as a JCPS special needs bus driver, where I support and interact with youth daily, giving me firsthand experience in understanding their needs, behaviors, and challenges.
I am also pursuing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which continues to strengthen my ability to provide guidance, structure, and emotional support. My experience in the youth care field has shown me the importance of consistency, accountability, and genuine care.
Ember Haven was built on the belief that every child deserves a stable, home-like environment where they feel safe, respected, and encouraged to move forward toward a better future.
