Help foster youth now

How to Help

No family, no home, and no one to call when things go wrong. That’s the harsh reality for so many foster youth.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. With your support, foster youth will have someone to call when things get tough, and hope for a brighter future. 

Your support will help the foster youth in our programs graduate from high school, attend and graduate college, find stable housing and employment, and will have a direct and lasting impact in thier lives for generations to come.

Donate

Get involved with UFC and your community. You can make a difference in small and big ways from a one day event to long-term commitments – either way, you are contributing to the success of foster youth.

Youth in UFC’s Pathways and College Sponsorship Programs benefit tremendously from our internship program. Paid internships typically run 8-10 weeks, 25-40 hours per week and give youth the opportunity to explore career interests and gain valuable hands-on work experience, and often lead to full-time employment.

Simple ways to make a difference for foster youth.
