Fostering a Change

EIN 46-3910466 • 501(c)3 • Encino, CA

Profile

Fostering a Change engages a caring community to help transitioning foster youth achieve self-sufficiency and well-being. We envision a future in which all youth leaving the foster care system have a home as well as a community of caring adults waiting for them after age 18. We believe consistent, long-term help from the heart is the foundation for the success of our youth so that they can thrive and enjoy productive, satisfying lives long after they leave the foster care system.
