Mission Statement
Supporting relationships and enhancing environments that embrace youth and families in transition.
About This Cause
Family Alternatives is a non-profit foster care agency that does much more than traditional foster care. Our mission is to support relationships and enhance environments that embrace children and families in transition. We believe strongly in youth empowerment and adhere to a strengths-based model. Unlike many foster care agencies, we provide events and activities that are beyond basic foster care. We understand that our youth often feel the weight of the “foster” label and that their interactions with adults in the system are disproportionately about how to treat, fix or improve them. We know they crave normal adolescent opportunities, so we take time to hear their ideas and create venues for typical teen experiences, such as graduation parties, sleepovers, camps, and talent shows. When we balance these with therapeutic programming, youth are able to simultaneously work on developing new social-emotional skills while also experiencing normative adolescent activities.
