Mission Statement

Family & Youth Initiative (DCFYI) creates enriching lifetime relationships for youth at risk of aging out of foster care. We make a difference in the lives of older children by forging pathways to adoption while building bridges between youth and a community of adults willing to open their hearts and homes.

Description

DCFYI focuses solely on helping teens aged 12 to 21 in foster care find adoptive families and develop lasting relationships with caring adults. We offer opportunities for adults who are not yet approved to adopt or mentor to meet and get to know teens, allowing relationships to grow naturally before any formal mentor or adoption match is made.
