Support Services for Youth as they age out of Foster Care.

How We're Helping

Change 1 helps Youth and Young Adults ages 15-26 realize their full potential. By bridging the gaps in the support they receive entering adulthood, we empower their dreams of making meaningful contributions to their communities and having strong families of their own.

     

 Every time a foster child moves homes, they fall 6 months behind academically, with 50% never graduating high school. We never give up on children. And we don’t let children give up on themselves. 


By advocating for them, we strengthen our families, and communities.

We Believe: Reclaiming Life After Foster Care


At Change 1, we believe every foster care alumni deserves the chance to reclaim their life and build the future they desire. Our annual alumni camping trip is a step towards healing, empowerment, and community.


We believe in the resilience and strength of foster care alumni. This retreat offers a safe and supportive environment to leave past challenges behind, embrace the present, and look forward to a brighter future.


We believe in connection and the transformative power of nature. By immersing in the outdoors, alumni can find peace, clarity, and inspiration. This trip is a chance to reset, recharge, and renew their spirits.


We believe in personal growth and creating a community of support. Through engaging activities, participants gain valuable insights and confidence to pursue their dreams.


It’s time to reclaim your life and build the future you desire. 


Join us on this journey of renewal and empowerment.

Youth in Foster Care face overwhelming challenges

Change1 supports youth transitioning out of foster care, as well as those working with them and the community.  


Every year, 250,000 children enter the Foster Care  system due to abuse and neglect.  20,000 teens are “emancipated” at age 18. Nearly 40% experience homelessness within 18 months. 70% of foster youth want to attend college.  Only 3% receive a degree. 


Our hope is when we change one’s mind,  we change one’s life.
