We work through the church and community partners the stem the flow of youth exiting foster care into homelessness, poverty, prison, pregnancy, and trafficking. 97% of youth who exit foster care without a safe, stable individual in their life will end up in lifelong chronic poverty, or worse. We believe that the key difference in whether a youth becomes a success or a statistic when leaving foster care hinges on their connection to a safe, healthy relationship to a caring adult—someone who is consistent and committed to helping the youth navigate from total dependence inside of the foster care system into an adult world of independence, interdependence, and responsibility. Our ultimate win for each youth is that they would come to know the love of Jesus through their connection to safe and secure Christian Mentoring Family and transition successfully into what we call Connected Independent Living—living independently as a productive member of our society while remaining connected to a caring adult to help them navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.
