Organization Information

Mission Statement

At Fostering Heroes Foundation our mission is to impact foster youth in group homes every day. The focus is to deliver the mentorship, life skills and experiences that provide the opportunity for foster youth aging out of the system with skills, beliefs, encouragement and love necessary to succeed. This success may be learning a trade, finding a new direction in life or going to school to further their education. Our definition of success is helping these youth break the cycle of generational poverty that many times leads to criminal activity, entering the sex trade, drug abuse, and homelessness. This isn’t about us. This is about creating futures for the foster youth we serve!

Description

Fostering Heroes was founded with the purpose of helping foster youth as they age out of the system. Too many of these youth end up homeless, incarcerated, or worse. It is our goal to help them obtain the skills needed to end that cycle and to become the heroes of their own lives. To do this, ourselves and our volunteers go directly to the group homes and interact with the youth before they have aged out. We do fun activities, create trusting bonds, help them learn how to fill out applications, practice interviewing, help them decide on secondary education, and more!
