An Accredited trauma-healing Intensive & trade
School for youth aging out of foster care

Our 90-day Intensive sees our graduates exiting Fostering Care into a vast career pipeline as certified trauma-informed professionals.

Fostering Care graduates will emerge fortified, mind, body, and soul into a robust, career pipeline: Our career pipeline includes numerous trauma-informed, state-certified trades, college credits, and personalized education plans with support through our partnership with an accredited charter school. In a world grappling with a global mental health crisis and a profound need for people with lived experience as teachers and leaders, Fostering Care graduates will be well-positioned to meet this demand. Fostering Care offers a revolutionary new potential for youth aging out of Foster Care - allowing for a major decrease in the financial drains on society by adding healthy, highly resilient, trauma-informed, self-actualized youth to the workforce. Fostering Care's trail-blazing nature lies in its holistic approach to prosperity for youth exiting a brutal system into a world they are bitterly unprepared for and reshaping the narrative for their futures.
