Providing a Tribe For Youth in Foster Care

“Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be”

~ Educator Rita Pierson

The Champion Project

Who we are.

The Champion Project is a trauma informed mentoring program that works in 24 hour staffed facilities for youth in foster care, to help provide stability and consistency in the lives of teens in foster care.

Mission
Through local churches, we want to provide foster youth with a tribe of people who care for them, believe in their individual and amazing God-given talents, and mentor them within and outside of the foster care system.

Goal
Engage individual churches to partner with a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or group home in their community and bring that RTC or group home into their church family.

Vision
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.
