Subscribe to our Friends of Foster Care newsletter to learn more about how you can help youth in care.
When you donate an item through our Amazon wish list, you are helping support a youth who might be moving into their first apartment, a new mom who needs baby supplies, or a student heading off to college for the first time.
Mentor or tutor our refugee youth, create a job training internship, provide a ride. We are open to new and creative ideas!
You can help support a young adult as they pursue their educational goals! Your gift will help Ascentria offer scholarships and assistance with school supplies.
Established in 2017 in memory of a former Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) client who was truly committed to his education, but unfortunately passed away due to illness before he was able to achieve his goals of graduating high school and pursuing further education.
In this client’s memory, annual scholarships are awarded to youth in the URM Program in support of their educational dreams and pursuits. Applicants must be a current URM client with a concrete plan to pursue further education or training after high school, either at a college or vocational training program. Applicants must also demonstrate strong academic potential, commitment to achieving their education goals, and a financial need related to the cost of attending their educational program of choice.
Contact our team and we can help you build a plan to support youth in care.
Your donation helps the individuals and families participating in our programs to become self-sufficient and confident in their ability to not only meet life’s challenges, but thrive. We can’t do it without you!
