Our Mission:
Community
Belonging and community is what we all want to experience. Youth from the foster care system can feel alone and ashamed of their story, leaving them feeling like an outsider. Foster Alumni Mentors is about FAMily ~ supporting, preparing, and building confidence in youth as they transition to adulthood.
Come alongside us to be a part of creating community for our youth today!
Peer-to-Peer Mentoring
20,000+ youth emancipate from the foster care system each year. Many feel alone and struggle to find a place of belonging. FAM provides a community of young adults who have shared experience with the foster care system, giving them a safe space where they can connect and build relationships, creating a strong support system. Each month, FAM members get together for FAM Time, where they get to have fun and connect with each other, encouraging and cheering each other on. This brings value to their lives and they know they have a place of belonging where people genuinely care about them and want to see them succeed.
