Bridges to the Future was an idea that started after one
family became resource parents, saw a need amongst the youth in the system and
prayed about a way to help and get others involved.
When
teens age out of the foster care system, they need continued support from
loving and caring mentors in the community.
It is incredibly important for teens when they are making choices about
their future such as; finding employment, furthering their education and locating
housing. Those children that grow up in a family depend on their parents to
guide them as they navigate their futures. This is hard for those with no one
to depend on encouraging and uplifting them.
Teens without family need to make close connections with adults who have
their best interest at heart and will be there when things get hard…which they
always do.
Bridges
to the Future will be involved in educating, motivating and inspiring youth to
be who they are destined to be. We are
excited to reach this special age group to remind them that their lives have
purpose and meaning.
