The only national nonprofit focused exclusively on meeting the emotional needs of foster youth. A Home Within recruits licensed mental health professionals who each volunteer to see one current or former foster youth in weekly therapy - free of charge, and for "as long as it takes."
Operating as usual
We take joy in changing lives for the better and love to hear from those whose lives have been changed.
If you connected with your therapist through A Home Within and would like to share your story, please email [email protected].

Take a look: this article by Sara Tiano sheds light on the frustrations and lack of resources of foster youth in the UC system.
"Foster youth face daunting odds when they enter colleges and universities. A leading study on California foster youth out of the University of Chicago found that while they aspire to higher education at similar rates to their peers, less than 6% graduate with a four-year degree. Among the barriers are housing and financial aid challenges, and the difficulty of working while attending school."
A group of foster youth attending the University of California has called for additional on-campus resources to address their barriers in higher education.
