Helping former foster youth succeed as they journey toward independent living.
Every year, over 200 young adults age out of foster care in Nebraska and face the challenges of adulthood without a safety net. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) over 38,000 unaccompanied youth experienced homelessness on a single day in the US last year. Partnership 4 Hope is a community-driven collaborative founded to address the distinct challenges faced by young people who have aged out of care or experienced housing instability.
Our Mission
Our collaborative seeks to tackle these challenges by:
Recruiting mentors who will form meaningful relationships with the mentees.
Creating a supportive community that collaborates with both mentors and mentees to help them thrive on their journey to independent living.
Providing material, emotional, and relational support to assist them in overcoming the obstacles they encounter during this transition.
