Mission

Fostering Promise is a Black-led, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2023. We are committed to advocating for youth-driven policies that ensure every young person who ages out of foster care has a safe place to call home, the hope for a promising future, and the support of a caring mentor.

We aim to eradicate homelessness among former foster youth by working collaboratively with foster youth, stakeholders, and local and state government officials. Our advocacy initiatives aim to champion policies and programs that empower these emerging adults to transition successfully into adulthood, while also addressing the underlying systemic issues that contribute to their homelessness.
