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!

Tyeresha B. / The Key is to Love Yourself
"Don't build up judgments from the past to ruin who you are today.
Jasmine J. / Don't expect us to act like "normal" kids
“Regular kids leave for doctors appointments while foster kids leave for court. Regular kids get one-on-one time with their parents while foster kids have to have a stranger in their room supervising their interactions.”
Maria G. / Living in survival mode
“You can’t control what has happened, but you can control your future and what you want to plan for yourself. You owe it to yourself to push through and make your dreams come true.”
Karina A. / Being forced into independence
Karina feels that her independence allowed her to be more vocal and forced her not to shy away from new opportunities. She is able to socialize and is not afraid to speak up.
Mareena P. / You are stronger than you know
Mareena wasn’t sure about what meals she’d be eating because the woman at the group home didn’t cook. She had anxiety about how long she would be there.
Isabel R. / The stress of sibling separation
Isabel says that her foster parents “could never image what it was like to be thinking about your siblings and not having any idea what they were doing, who they lived with, where they were, or how they were holding up.”
Elijah R. / Peer support is important
Something that Elijah experienced was the feeling of being alone and feeling like he wasn’t good enough like the “normal kids.”
Mona G. / Use your voice
Mona says, “When some days all I want to do is give up, I remember that there is someone out there that is waiting for someone like me to hold their hand and help, because maybe they are not as strong as I am to ask for help.”
