Mentor, Foster, or Adopt

If you want to explore becoming an adolescent mentor, foster, or adoptive parent and need to find an equipping foster ministry church, we can refer you to nearby church ministries to get equipped for success. If you’re not ready, we recommend going through a devotion entitled Ready or Not available on Amazon to help you determine if mentoring, fostering, or adoption is for you. Contact us with questions and to join a group that meets weekly to discuss the book in detail. We can provide video links to better equip you for fostering or adoption.

- Become a CASA (Court Appointed Child Advocate).
- Become a mentor for aged out foster youth as they learn to become independent.
- Help parents overcome financial struggles as to not lose their children.

Donate Transportation to Aged Out Youth
Often, youth aging out of the foster care system don’t have access to reliable transportation. If led, you can donate a vehicle for foster youth to use to get to and from work. If you’re a dealership or auto repair shop, you can offer repairs and/or car work at a reduced rate to recently aged out foster youth.
