FosterHope Sacramento

A nonprofit organization

Since July, 1985 FosterHope Sacramento has been providing services for El Dorado, Placer, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento Counties. For 40 years FosterHope has directly impacted the lives of youth and families within the greater Sacramento region providing care, community and support. FosterHope’s vision is to help heal the effects of trauma and end the cycle of abuse, and poverty, by building on the strengths of children and families so they find safety, hope, and success in life. 

FosterHope serves a diverse population of youth ranging from infancy to adulthood between the ages of (0-21) and their families. We work with youth impacted by both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems; specializing in youth with complex trauma histories.  

As a California licensed, 501(c)(3) nonprofit Foster Family Agency (FFA), we engage with children, youth, and families every day to learn about their needs and to foster hopes, dreams, connection, and community. Through providing an array of foster care and family support services we are able to help children, youth, and families achieve stability and success by providing opportunities for support and connection tailored to their needs and strengths.  

In recent years we have expanded our programs and services to offer deeper levels of support to our children, youth, and families through mentorship, authentic youth engagement, and mental health support.

Mission

Our mission is to provide support to children, teens, and families and facilitate healing of the spirit, mind, and body to help them reach their fullest potential through an array of foster care and family support services.

Needs

FosterHope is celebrating 40 years of hope and healing. Please check out our opportunities to get involved in supporting our Agency's 40th Anniversary Goals.

DONATE

$40,000 for 40 Years of Service to deepen our work with system impacted children, youth and families in the areas of mental health and stability.

Every $40 helps us write a new story of hope! Join us a monthly donor or donate one time to help us celebrate this milestone! Your contributions will support FosterHope’s work to build a robust mental health program that specifically addresses trauma and the harms caused by system involvement and continue to provide community-based support to children, youth, and families that build on their strengths. Creating future of hope for all, where healing and stability is guaranteed.

BECOME A RESOURCE PARENT

One of the largest barriers to providing life-changing care to children and youth involved in the child welfare system is the lack of placement options. At FosterHope we receive referrals for teens, sibling sets, and youth with mental health need far more than we have the capacity to place. Adding new resource families, especially in our Enhanced Care program is an important step to increasing our agency’s capacity to serve the youth that need our programs most.

Our goal is to add 4 new Enhanced Care homes and to reach 40 Foster Care Homes so we can address the needs of more youth in in our community.

Give us a call at (916) 737-1481 to learn more about becoming a resource parent and to join an upcoming info session.

VOLUNTEER

FosterHope is incredibly lucky to have talented staff and resource families that help us provide regular support and activities that promote healing and well-being for everyone engaged in our programs. Throughout the year we have opportunities for our broader community to participate in this amazing work! Check back regularly for upcoming volunteer opportunities below.

SPREAD THE WORD
