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
The Champion Project connects caring adults with foster youth living in staffed facilities (today’s alternative to traditional orphanages) through mentoring, tutoring, and literacy programs.

Goal
That every one of the 3,000+ youth living in congregate care facilities (today’s alternative to traditional orphanages) across the state of Texas will have a church home, a group of mentors, and a tutor that will help them reach their highest potential.

Vision
The Champion Project is built on the vision that churches will welcome youth in foster care living in congregate care facilities (today’s alternative to traditional orphanages) into their doors and into their lives, demonstrating the unconditional love of God through mentoring, while TCP supports their growth through tutoring and literacy programs.
