Announcing our 2026
LOVE BIG GALA
We hope you will join us on March 19, 2026 to Love Big and Change Lives. Tickets and Sponsorships are available now!
Our Mission
The Champion Project connects caring adults with youth in foster care, living in staffed facilities, through our mentoring, tutoring and literacy programs.
Mentoring Program: Equip faith-based communities to provide stability, consistency, and belonging to youth living in congregate care facilities through a trauma-informed, group mentoring model.
Tutoring Program: Provide 1-on-1 tutoring that builds confidence and academic success for youth in foster care, helping them grow in reading and math and believe in their potential.
Book Bus Program: Connect local volunteers with youth in foster care living in staffed facilities through books, literacy resources, and meaningful relationship-building.
LOVE BIG, CHANGE LIVES
Our Vision
The Champion Project is built on the vision that alongside our community partners, each church will create a safe and loving environment for their local youth in foster care by welcoming them not only into their doors but also into their lives demonstrating the unconditional love of God.
Group Homes
Live-in, out-of-home care placement in which staff are trained to work with children and youth whose specific needs are best addressed in a highly structured environment. These placements are time limited and offer a higher level of structure and supervision than what can be provided in a foster home.
Residential treatment centers
RTC’s provide intensive help for youth with serious emotional and behavior problems.
RTC programs may be operated by public or private agencies and often provide an array of services, including educational, therapeutic and medical services for foster youth.
Congregate care
24 hour staffed facilities for foster youth.
