THE SOLUTION:
Community Beyond the System

What if vulnerable children and families had somewhere else to turn besides an overburdened system? What if instead of being a case number, they were people with names and faces – where someone knew them, their story, and their needs? What if the gaps could be closed between what the system provides and what they need to thrive? This is the power of Community Beyond the System. At Foster Village, we surround every type of family experiencing foster care – foster parents, kinship families, reunifying families, and former foster youth – with a village of support that dismantles isolation and empowers families to break generational cycles for years to come.
