What We Believe

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.
