The Tennessee Children’s Home has selected Mike Yuhas as its new president, who will take over for longtime president Brian King, who plans to retire in June.
While the position will be new, Yuhas has been involved with the Children’s Home since 1995, serving many positions, such as emergency shelter shift worker, houseparent, residential counselor, principal and program director. He is also a graduate from Freed-Hardeman University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
Yuhas’ transition into the position will begin April 1 and will commence no later than June 30, according to a press release.
“Tennessee Children’s Home is a great organization made up of people who are passionate about helping kids,” Yuhas said. “I am thankful for the opportunity to lead these efforts into the future.”
According to a press release, the Children’s Home currently serves 96 children and young adults as of October 2023.
“Mike has proven himself strong and capable at every level,” Board of Tennessee Children’s Home Chairman Bruce Gibbs said. “We are confident that he is the person to lead the Tennessee Children’s Home organization to an even brighter future for the children in our care.”
