Who we are

Our unique approach

Foster Greatness is designed for, by, and with young adults impacted by the foster care system and adverse childhood experiences to make a real difference in people's lives. We believe lived experience leaders have the wisdom, strength, and character to change the narrative about current and former foster youth and our goal is to give them the knowledge and skills to do just that.

Our team's expertise in trauma informed care, child welfare, education, research, and human-centered program design allows us to:

Identify needs and challenges in our community
Innovate and implement effective solutions
Continuously improve on the services we provide

What We Do

Our jobs allow young people to develop confidence, skills, and self-growth to achieve their personal and professional goals. Workforce Development includes providing the resources and training needed to become a coach for our Foster your Greatness Master Class.

For me, the Master Class was about getting to know myself, what I need help with, and what I can do for myself and how to approach things the right way.
