Together, We’re Redefining What’s Possible.
We want to put the focus back on you—your journey, your dreams, your strengths.
Foster Nation is more than programs; it’s a community of mentors and peers who’ve been where you are and are ready to lift you up, cheer you on, and help you build a future that’s yours.
We help you build the skills you need by pairing you with a personal coach who’s there every step of the way. Whether you are looking for assistance in your career, school, or just need a little guidance, Sparks is here for you!

Michael G. / Go above and beyond
Michael says that foster care “only increased [his] determination to succeed as [he] won’t let a setback put [him] down.”
Aaronn B. / Own your story
Aaronn says, “when you start to learn more of what got you into foster care, there may be times where you think it has something to do with you when in reality you had no control over the situation.”
Dairius K. / We all have the ability to grow
There were some dark days in his life when he was in 5th grade and some decisions even led him to attempt to take his own life. Coming out on the other side of this was a big takeaway for him: “Your life is precious and is a beautiful gift. You are the only one that can set the limits on what you want to achieve in life.”
Alina G. / Reach for what seems like the impossible
Being a foster youth has impacted my determination tremendously. As weird as it may sound, I would not be where I am today if I did not endure what I had.
Areli G. / Focus on the light
A quote that kept me going was: "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." -Aristotle
Agustina P. / Never lose hope
Never lose hope — that there's always amazing people that love us and care for us through our journey.
Casey I. / Fight for your dreams
I held a grudge and so much anger for so long. Therapy helped me go back and deal with the trauma. Now I'm free and proud of who I am.
Yajaira C. / Never let anyone take your joy
Failures happen all the time, but what matters is how many times we get back up to keep going.
