Dare to Dream® pairs youth and young adults in foster care – ages 11–22 – with one consistent adult who shows up, listens, and believes in what’s possible for you.

Your Dare to Dream® mentor is intentionally matched around your strengths, interests, personality, and goals. Because your story is unique – and your support should be, too. 

Mentors commit to at least two in-person connections each month and a one-year commitment, renewed annually to support consistency and stability. That steady presence means you have someone who keeps showing up – someone you can count on.

Together, you’ll set personalized milestones – from academics and career exploration to life skills, financial literacy, employment, college applications, and independent living. The structure provides direction. The goals are shaped by your voice.

When you have one reliable adult in your corner, things begin to feel different. Confidence grows. Decisions feel clearer. Hope feels real – and so does your future.
