  • A Youth Program Event

    Exciting Changes Coming Soon for Tomorrow's About You!

    Fostering UNITY's "Tomorrow's About You" Youth Mentoring Program is taking a brief hiatus as we revamp it for an exciting re-launch under the leadership of our new Youth Lead, CARE Service Specialist! This personalized mentoring program is designed to help youth ages 12-21 achieve their goals and dreams through life skills training, financial literacy, transitional planning, educational support, and network building.

    Once re-launched, participants in the full program will commit to 44 hours of dedicated mentoring, complete pre- and post-mentorship quizzes, and have opportunities to earn gift cards for their participation. Youth will also be paired with a mentor to guide their skill development.

    For those who prefer just the group mentoring option, we offer valuable social skill-building activities, games, peer interaction, and the chance to connect with Fostering UNITY.

    Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks as we prepare to relaunch this transformative program!

  • A Caregiver Program Event

    Open to all relative, non-relative, and adoptive families, these weekly virtual meetings offer a supportive space for caregivers to connect, share resources, and offer mutual support. Whether you want to talk, listen, or simply sip your coffee, it's nice to do it together. Join us for an informal meet-up where caregivers can share experiences, find comfort, and build a sense of community over a cup of coffee.
