The present study aimed to investigate the effective experiences of adolescents living in quasi-family centers regarding their personal and social growth. Adolescents who are orphaned or under inadequate parental care are exposed to multiple psychological and social risks, and understanding their lived experiences can inform effective supportive interventions. This research employed a qualitative design using a phenomenological approach. The participants were 16 adolescents (10 girls and 6 boys) residing in quasi-family centers in Yazd Province, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed through Smith’s interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings revealed four main themes contributing to adolescents’ growth: learning practical and future-oriented skills, experiencing a sense of group belonging, developing discipline and order in daily life, and using failures as opportunities for growth. The results suggest that quasi-family centers, when providing structured and supportive environments, can facilitate adolescents’ empowerment and better prepare them for independent living and social participation
