Mission Statement
Our Mission is to provide access to and attainment of post-secondary education for all youth aging out of foster care.
About This Cause
*(\in-sor-o\) Our name is derived from the Ghanan term nsoromma, meaning “children of the heavens.” We believe that youth in foster care–with so few blood ties they can claim–are part of a more divine family. Our name is always spelled with a lowercase “n” as a constant reminder that what matters most is our accountability to these “children of the heavens.” At the crossroads of incarceration or graduation, the nsoro Educational Foundation steps in to change the foster youth narrative of poverty, homelessness, and welfare. Our college immersion program offered exclusively to high school students in foster care equips students with the tools they need to rewrite their futures. With a vision of a life beyond their current circumstances and an educational roadmap in tow, College Bound attendees are prepared to enroll in a two or four-year college, technical, or vocational school where we support them from the day they step on campus to the moment they walk across the stage. An enriching curriculum of S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) instruction, self-advocacy practice, financial literacy education, and health and wellness exposure equips students with the tools they need to rewrite their futures. Since 2005, we have awarded over 700 scholarships for post-secondary education. Currently serving 340 scholars at 229 universities, we are creating a population of thriving former foster youth determined to beat the odds.
