About us

We ensure foster youth have equal footing when entering the professional world by matching them with a career coach and providing them with career readiness training necessary to help them become self-sufficient. We help build confidence in foster youth without the resources or funds to thrive by hosting free pop-up shopping days to shop for professional and casual clothing, toiletries, beauty products, and accessories. By providing laptops and technological support, we help bridge the digital divide for foster youth to help them achieve their educational and career goals. We address food insecurity for foster youth in college by providing them with free meals for 30 to 60 days that can either be picked up from a local restaurant or delivered through our partnering organizations. Whether it’s a birthday, a graduation or a holiday – we provide celebratory gifts for foster youth to remind them that they’re not alone during these monumental moments in their lives.
