Empowering Foster Youth to Rise Above the Odds

Your time, your heart, your prayers, or your gifts can rewrite a life story.

Our Goal
Nationally, only 2-3% of aged out foster students ever complete a degree or technical training certificate.
We refuse to accept these statistics as their destiny.
Every young adult deserves more than just survival—they deserve a future filled with hope, purpose, and opportunity. At A Leg Up Mentoring, we walk alongside these resilient young people, providing unwavering mentorship, to help them reach their educational goals.
Join the Movement to Break the Cycle
Whether you become a mentor, donate, or pray for our youth, you play a vital role in raising up the next generation of leaders.
One hour a week. A lifetime of change.
Together, we can shatter the statistics — and build futures full of promise.
