Getting Involved
Youth in Foster Care Need Your Support
Many youth in our program need permanent families. These children came into the foster care system through no fault of their own, their parents unable or unwilling to provide safe and adequate care. Some have been in the system for years, moving from one foster home to another—sometimes without any warning. They have lost contact with friends, foster parents, teachers, and others over and over again.
Through all of this, these youth have survived. Many have turned their experiences into inspiration for others. We at Under One Sky believe in them and in their ability to find the strength, perseverance, and motivation to lead happy, fulfilled lives.
How You Can Help
Though finding adoptive families for the youth in our program is a priority, we also understand how important it is for these youth to have a community of caring adults who are invested in their futures. There are many ways to be involved in the life of a youth in foster care, and we invite you to contribute in whatever way works for you, such as:
- Providing foster care
- Providing respite care
- Becoming a mentor
- Becoming a tutor
- Volunteering time at camp or other events
- Donating money and/or supplies
- Educating others about youth who need families
