Every child deserves a family where they can thrive. Together, we can make that happen.
Vulnerable families across our nation are in crisis. Their children often feel the effects the most. They’re at risk of separation and there is a lack of foster and adoptive families for those children who have been removed. To end the crisis, we have to work together.

We believe ending the child welfare crisis starts with connection. We raise awareness and empower best-in-class organizations by uniting local governments, faith communities, nonprofits, service providers, businesses, and individuals like you. Together, we surround vulnerable families with the support they need so every child has a home where they can thrive.
We take a layered approach to help families move from crisis to thriving. Our Well-Being Support Ecosystem™ focuses on three priorities to bring lasting change to every state in America.
Keeping Families Together
The first goal of our strategy is keeping families together before government intervention is needed.
Recruit and Retain Foster Families
We create better outcomes in foster care by recruiting and retaining ideal foster families in the same zip code, who speak the same language, and provide a familiar environment.
Community Empowerment
We coordinate service providers within communities to create a support system for families and children in crisis.
Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone is called to care. Meet the stakeholders who have joined us on mission and chosen to live For Others.
