The Given Hope Project

Our Mission:

The Given Hope Project empowers foster youth and foster parents to overcome challenges, build resilience, and create brighter futures. Through life coaching, support programs, and community partnerships, we provide the tools, guidance, and hope needed to thrive.

Our Purpose:

We exist to ensure every foster youth, adoptive child, foster parent —especially those aging out of the foster system—feels seen, supported, and equipped to reach their fullest potential.

Every child deserves a champion — an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be.
— Rita F. Pierson

✨Character-Building

Values • Integrity • Patience

We guide youth in developing strong decision-making skills and the character needed to lead meaningful lives.
