Learn more about the children currently waiting in foster care.
Behind every thriving child is someone who chose to care. For youth in foster care, that “someone” can be hard to find — but Raise the Future is changing that. We work to connect every young person with at least one trusted adult who offers support, stability, and love.

Foster. Adopt. Mentor. Volunteer. Give.
It only takes one. You can be that one.
Raise the Future believes every young person deserves to go through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past.
Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.
