Organizations Filed Purposes: Extraordinary Families helps children and youth in foster care to have the childhoods and futures they rightfully deserve. Our person-centered approach reduces childhood trauma, encourages safety and stability and empowers children and youth to thrive.

Helping children in foster care and former foster youth as they transition into adulthood.

Foster Care: We recruit and train foster parents to care for children entering the foster care system. Children remain in the foster care temporarily until they can safely reunify with their family, are adopted, or age out of foster care and transition into adulthood. Our work is to find families for children, not children for families.

Adoption: We join children and families through adoption. Our foster-to-adopt program bridges the gap between a child's need for temporary support and long-term care with a forever family. When a child in foster care cannot reunify with a biological family member, we move toward adoption.

UP4Youth: We support young adults who have aged out of the foster care system transition into adulthood. Youth are empowered with resource coordination, employment services, education planning, and one-on-one mentoring as they make the critical transition to adulthood and self-sufficiency.
