Foster Your Future, Inc. is an Arizona based, Non-Profit, 501(c)3 Charitable Organization dedicated to providing support programs for aging out foster young adults that are interested in bettering their future through career and college. Foster Your Future is a Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO) with a Arizona Tax Credit #22210. By providing housing, food, and support in all needed areas to access a job, career, and educational advancement, Foster Your Future provides real life hope for a better future to these young adults. Young adults who agree to be drug-free, working full-time, making a one-year commitment to learn with a mentor each week can join after being referred by an agency. This primarily volunteer driven charitable, there is only one part time employee, focuses on supporting the young adult in their career development, whether that is higher education or in vocational careers and certifications programs. This is a very costly program, as they receive monthly financial support when sharing their passing grades and show improved financial literacy to their mentor each month. Other young adults, not in a career programs, will also be supported in regard to what is needed to continue employment. Volunteers are the core of our success as they provide individual mentorship, administrative hours, as well as support during biannual household giving events. 95% of our goods are In-Kind-Donations. All of funds, volunteer hours and goods combined bring excellent supports for the young adults in housing, books, laptops, food, transportation, furniture, clothing, and other items needed to function independently. What makes Foster Your Future different or stand out? First there are not many programs specifically designed for the young adults 18 and over out of foster care. Foster Your Future has no age limits and provides a range of support, including a one-year commitment to work with a mentor weekly. Foster Your Future also supports whatever the young adult needs, including a new tire to make sure they can get to work, obtaining a driver’s license, eyeglasses, and some dental care, someone to call and ask questions to, clothing whether it is for an interview, internship or just basic needs. With your support these young adults that have exited foster care can flourish and become successful, responsible and happy adults while they make their dreams come true!
