Our History
Tides was founded in 1983 by Brother Michael Reis, a DeLaSalle Christian Brother, with $15,000 seed money.  The Lasallian mission is to serve the neediest and poorest families in the community.  Brother Michael realized interventions needed to happen before kids were placed in out of home care.  He founded a much-needed “agency without walls” where outreach workers and clinical social workers meet with and provide critical services to youth in their homes, neighborhoods and schools.  Today, we provide 24/7 services 365 days a year through 120 staff and an $8 million budget.
