THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 400,000 CHILDREN AND YOUTH EXPERIENCING FOSTER CARE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
We are building communities of people that are changing the way children, youth, and families experience foster care. Passionate donors, volunteers, mentors, partners, and advocates are all ripples in the sea of change for our foster care community.​
1 out of 5 foster youth become homeless at age 18
50% of foster homes close within the first year
20,000 youth between the ages of 18-21 age out of the foster care system annually
​60% of youth formerly in care fall below the poverty line, despite earning an income

​​But we believe it doesn't have to be this way.
A few minutes can change a life forever. ​It has the power to change yours, too.​​
The ripple effects of spending time in foster care can look like  academic instability, homelessness, incarceration, and mental health challenges. The ripple effects of investing just a few minutes in the powerful potential of this community can result in cycles broken. It can bring hope for the future. Watch this 8-minute documentary short to learn about our community-based programs and how they’re transforming foster care.
​Your investment makes generational change possible.
