Our Response

Empower youth aging out of foster care by connecting them with mentoring families and provide the stability and healthy relationships they need to thrive in life and make a positive impact on the world.

We believe every young person deserves the freedom to make choices about their relationships, including deciding when to share their story and select their mentors.

Choice-Based Matching Model

Having respect for young adults choices helps them reclaim their voice and shape their own futures. We call it the Choice-Based Matching Model.

Every youth has a voice and a choice when they select their very own Mentoring Family.
Our trained Mentoring Families commit to lifelong connection and provide a safety net of secure belonging while guiding youth toward self-efficacy into an independent life.
Our team provides 12 months of systematic support to ensure the stability of each match.
Our commitment to each connection never ends, providing additional, community-based resources plus lifelong support for alumni as needed.
