At Raise the Future, we believe every young person deserves to go through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side.

Every November, we join the nation in celebrating National Adoption Awareness Month, a time dedicated to honoring the incredible youth and families whose lives have been transformed through adoption.
At Raise the Future, we know that adoption is more than a legal process; it’s about building lifelong connections, fostering belonging, and ensuring that every young person has the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home. Throughout this month, we celebrate the families who have opened their hearts to youth in foster care, and we recognize the ongoing need for supportive, trauma-informed services that help families thrive long after adoption day.
Join us this month as we share inspiring stories, raise awareness, and continue the work to ensure that every child and teen in foster care finds the family and future they deserve.

Behind every thriving child is someone who chose to care. For youth in foster care, that “someone” can be hard to find — but Raise the Future is changing that. We work to connect every young person with at least one trusted adult who offers support, stability, and love.

Foster. Adopt. Mentor. Volunteer. Give.
It only takes one. You can be that one.
Raise the Future believes every young person deserves to go through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past.
Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.
