We provide hands-on programs that prepare youth for real life.Through leadership development, entrepreneurship, and life skills training, we help young people build confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for their future.

These programs were created as I was exploring ways to assist my Children and Foster children with learning life skills. I have 40 years of first hand experience with the Ohio Foster Care System and the aftermath of the traumas it causes. As a child in the system, a community family advocate, a 3 time business owner and a 6 yr veteran as a Certified Therapeutic Foster Home, I have a unique perspective on aging out of care and catching your footing as you slide into adulthood.

What started as a family fundraiser for cystic fibrosis awareness at a covered bridge has grown into an event that has raised $3,000+ to provides thousands of comfort items to the families and C.F. Warriors that visit the C. F Clinic at Rainbows Babies & Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio

Our family invites local young entrepreneurs to join us to promote their businesses and wares.

Each vendor, young or old donates to our c.f. awareness fund.

Key statistics on young adults aging out of the foster care system.

20,000 youth age out of foster care every year.

Less than 50% graduate high school.

Only 3-5% continue their education towards a degree.

80% experience unemployment

20-35% will experience homelessness with in 18 months of aging out of care.

We need better supports in place to change these statistics.

We need to do better!
