Foster Your Future

The transition to adulthood can be challenging for young people who have grown up in the child welfare system. Faced with the same responsibilities as their peers—securing stable employment, earning sufficient income, finding safe and affordable housing, accessing post-secondary or vocational educational opportunities, and navigating complex relationships—former foster youth often encounter more significant hurdles and have poorer outcomes. Unlike their peers, most face these obstacles with limited support from caring adults who have a genuine interest in their success.

We Invest in the Future of Young People by Connecting them to Caring Adults and Providing Strategic Financial Support and Donations.

Meaningful connection with committed adults is fundamental to our efforts to help former foster youth open doors to a brighter future. Structured mentorships ensure each young person receives dedicated attention, guidance and encouragement while working towards their personal and professional goals. Mentors also serve as friends and coaches, encouraging self-discovery and helping unlock their inner potential during this unique stage of life.

Varying levels of sustained financial support is a key component of the Foster Your Future approach to putting young people on the road to long-term stability and success. Financial knowledge, while necessary for optimal financial choices and behaviors, is insufficient by itself to help low-income and low-wealth individuals move beyond paycheck-to-paycheck living and absorb financial shocks and missteps. That is why Foster Your Future combines financial education, budget development, monthly spending and budget monitoring with access to regular financial incentives for demonstrating good money management that can be applied to basic needs, emergencies or savings.
