Supporting Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care

Supporting Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care Supporting Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care Supporting Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care

Helping youth and young adults impacted by foster care gain access to life-changing opportunities.

Get Involved

How We're Helping

Change 1 helps youth and young adults ages 15–26 realize their full potential by bridging the gaps in support they often face while transitioning into adulthood. We empower young people to pursue their dreams, build meaningful futures, strengthen their communities, and create healthy families of their own.


Every time a child in foster care moves homes, they fall an average of six months behind academically, and nearly 50% never graduate high school. At Change 1, we refuse to give up on young people; and we help them believe they should never give up on themselves either.


Through advocacy, mentorship, community support, life skills development, and access to resources, we work to create opportunities that lead to long-term stability, healing, and success. Because when we invest in youth, we strengthen families, communities, and future generations.


Believe. Connect. Empower.

About Change 1

Change 1 is dedicated to supporting youth transitioning out of foster care by providing resources, guidance, advocacy, and community connection. We believe every young person deserves stability, opportunity, and a support system that sees their potential beyond their circumstances.


At Change 1, our mission is simple: when we change one mind, we change one life.

Our Services

Through life skills support, workforce readiness, community partnerships, wellness initiatives, and meaningful experiences, we work to help foster youth move from survival to empowerment. We also collaborate with caregivers, professionals, organizations, and community members who are committed to creating better outcomes for young people.
