​Our goal is to take a challenging system and build a beautiful, strong community around it that mandates love, transforms lives, and invests in a better future. As a non-profit, we rely heavily on donations from the community to continue this life-changing work. Your support allows us to change the way children, youth, and families experience the foster care system.

​YOU AREN’T JUST GIVING MONEY, YOU ARE CREATING REAL CHANGE.

You are providing children, youth, and families with a committed support system that will help: ​

Increase relational permanency for children and youth experiencing foster care

Our programs are a year-long commitment (although it is our hope that relationships would last beyond this) and provide wrap-around, holistic support to children, youth, and families, which, in turn,  promotes deep interpersonal relationships and helps foster greater care and connections for children and youth. ​

Increase normalcy for children and youth experiencing foster care

​
​Providing a child with typical childhood experiences can help promote positive mental health, emotional well-being, and identity formation. We train our volunteers to look for opportunities to help provide some of these typical experiences (i.e. camps, sports, other extracurriculars, etc.).

Increase skills necessary to thrive and live independently in youth aging out of foster care

​By walking mentees through the 10 milestones outlined in our Dare to Dream program, our mentors equip and empower youth to be prepared for independent living and reach their fullest potential. Youth are provided with the tools they need to pursue higher education, learn basic life skills, build connections, and more.

​Increase placement stability for children in foster care
​
​
​Providing support to caregivers allows for a more nurturing environment for children in care. Caregivers who are seen, heard, understood, and supported are more likely to continue fostering. With decreased placement transfers, children in care have an increased sense of safety and a sense of belonging.
