Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AS THEY STRUGGLE IN FOSTER CARE.
SIB-LINK: WHEN REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES, SIBLINGS IN FOSTER CARE ARE OFTEN SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER. SIBLING BONDS, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE KIDS WHO HAVE FACED TRAUMA, ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BONDS IN THEIR LIVES. SIB-LINK EXISTS TO KEEP THIS CONNECTION STRONG AND REDUCE FURTHER TRAUMA BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL REGULAR VISITS FOR THESE CHILDREN.
LIFE SUPPORT: STATISTICS FOR TEENS WHO AGE OUT OF FOSTER CARE ARE BLEAK. WE BELIEVE OUR COMMUNITY CAN REVERSE THESE BLEAK STATISTICS BY MATCHING TEENS WITH ADULT MENTORS TO PROVIDE ONGOING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE. LIFE SUPPORT MENTORS COMMIT TO VISITING A YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE TWICE PER MONTH, AND THIS IS OFTEN A MULTI-YEAR COMMITMENT. MENTORS ACTIVELY LISTEN TO HOPES, FEARS, AND DREAMS. THEY BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CHILD'S JOURNEY TOWARDS BETTER OUTCOMES.
COLLEGE FELLOWS: WHILE 70% OF FOSTERED YOUTH WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE, ONLY 30% APPLY, AND LESS THAN 10% GRADUATE. THOSE WHO DO ATTEND OFTEN HAVE NO FAMILY SUPPORTING THEIR JOURNEY AND EASILY DROP OUT. OUR GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE MORE YOUTH TO ATTEND COLLEGE, NURTURE THEIR COMMON BOND, AND PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THEIR ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE.
