Our MISSION
Empowering Transitional Age Youth (TAY) to break the cycle of childhood & family trauma and reduce social inequities through compassionate community engagement, support and collaboration.
Our VISION
We envision a community where individuals come together, united in purpose, to proactively dismantle barriers and empower young adults from challenging backgrounds to thrive as they were always meant to. We see a future where every young person is provided with equitable opportunities, personalized support, and unwavering encouragement to reach their full potential.
Every Year, thousands of young adults age out of foster care without any familial or support network, leaving them with poor life prospects. Once they reach the age of majority, they are considered adults and receive limited personal or financial assistance from foster parents or the government. Studies conducted nationwide reveal high levels of homelessness, substance use, mental health complexities, human trafficking, limited access to healthcare and additional challenges among former foster youth.
