Fostering Hope provides support and stability to foster families and to youth who are aging out of the foster care system. We recruit volunteer teams of "aunts and uncles" who provide practical and emotional support to foster parents, kids, and youth formerly in foster care. Our goal is to provide the kind of stability, enrichment and connections found in healthy families in order that kids can heal from abuse and neglect. We exist so that -foster parents can be at their best, -children who have experienced the trauma of abuse and neglect can heal, -and young adults can become the productive citizens they were meant to be.
