Safe Places, Linked Hearts: We provide youth in foster care opportunities to nurture their interests and talents, acquire new skills, and gain a sense of personal and group recognition in an atmosphere of hope.
During the past year, some of us were forced to sit and reflect while others had to spring into action. FAN had the opportunity to do both. In response to civil unrest, we held space for our youth participants to examine why their lives matter and the impact they want to create in the world and have already created. This forced us to do the same. Check out our documentary "We Matter: 15 Years of FANmily" to see how impactful we have been as we celebrate 15 years of service.
