Youth who have experienced foster care know the system in a way no one else can. And their voices matter.

In North Dakota, members of the Youth Advisory Board use their experiences to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and advocate for changes that better support youth in foster care and beyond. From speaking with community leaders to helping shape conversations around policy, they’re working to make sure young people are heard.

Their message is simple: include youth, listen to their experiences, and create space for them to be part of decisions that impact their lives.

In North Dakota, we provide a range of foster care services designed to meet youth where they’re at. From Treatment Foster Care for youth with more complex needs, to the Chafee Program which helps teens and young adults prepare for independence, to Supervised Independent Living for those taking the next step on their own. Each service is focused on creating stability and helping young people move forward.

We’re grateful for the foster parents, families, and professionals who make this work possible every day, and who help create safe, supportive environments where kids can grow.

When Kattie first connected with Nexus in Fargo, she was overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. She wanted stability for her two young sons, but the challenges they were facing at home and at school made that feel out of reach.

Through School Linked Services, Kattie and her family were connected to a team that helped bring things into focus. With support from her case manager, therapists, and school partners, they began building routines, strengthening communication, and working toward stability together.

Today, Kattie and her boys are in a very different place, growing, thriving, and moving forward with a renewed sense of confidence and hope.

Stories like this are a reminder that the right support, at the right time, can make a lasting difference for families.
