Shining a Light on Children in Foster Care

Empowering children in Northeast Ohio's foster care system to thrive through transformative support and enriching opportunities since 2013.

ROOTED IN HOPE: OUR PURPOSE

At Fostering Hope, we believe that every child deserves a sense of belonging, stability, and the opportunity to thrive. Our mission stems from a deep commitment to supporting children and youth in the foster care system, who often face unimaginable challenges.

We understand that healing begins with connection, and through our programs, we strive to create meaningful experiences that nurture resilience, inspire hope, and empower dreams. By bridging gaps and fostering relationships, we work to remind these young individuals that they are valued, capable, and never alone. Fostering Hope exists because every child’s story matters, and together, we can create brighter futures.
