The New Foster Care Featured in RO City Lifestyle Giving Issue

We’re grateful to share that The New Foster Care was recently featured in a heartfelt article that lifts up the spirit of our mission and the community walking alongside us. The story reflects a truth we carry every day: none of us are in this work alone. When we join our strengths, young people aging out of foster care gain the support and stability they deserve.

Three uplifting themes from the feature beautifully capture who we are becoming together:

1. A vision grounded in purpose and hope.

Chris Yatooma’s journey reminds us that even painful beginnings can lead to powerful impact. His belief that change is possible, one young person at a time, continues to guide our efforts and encourages all of us to imagine a better path forward.

2. The Bridge Program as a community of care.

The article highlights how our Bridge Program brings an entire team around each young adult. By surrounding them with guidance in education, employment, housing, wellness, and community connection, we help create a foundation where they can grow with confidence, knowing they have people beside them.

3. Transformation in action through stories like Gabriella’s.

Gabriella’s experience shows the strength that emerges when someone is finally met with safety and belief. Her journey from participant to team member reflects what becomes possible when young people feel supported, seen, and valued.

We’re honored by this spotlight, and even more inspired by the shared commitment of everyone who stands with us. Together, we can continue building a future where every young adult transitioning from foster care has a place to belong and the opportunity to thrive.
