How long have you been a community partner at AHW, and what does your organization do?

Hi. My name is Tyler. Foster Success has been a partner of A Home Within for a year now. We are a national nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that teens and young adults transitioning out of foster care are educated, housed, financially stable, employed, and connected to a reliable support system by their 26th birthday.

What gap does A Home Within fill in your community or those you serve?

A Home Within has been a really incredible partner because we overlap in our missions. All young people eligible for Foster Success programming are also eligible for A Home Within’s program. A Home Within has been really incredible in supporting our mental health acceptance promotion and support program, where we provide short-term therapy through a contracted therapist through Foster Success. After the short-term therapy sessions, we provide long-term connections, and A Home Within has been a great resource in connecting our young people to stable, long-term, and free therapy.

I think the greatest impact here is definitely the stability, and by extension, the safety that young people will feel from the partnership.

Tyler at Foster Success
Do you have any hopes for A Home Within and your organization for future collaboration?

Definitely, as Foster Success and A Home Within both continue to grow nationally, I envision a partnership in every single state where we both have a presence to ensure that young people who have experienced foster care are transitioning out to a reliable and stable therapeutic relationship.

In your opinion, what is the greatest impact of long-term, relational care?

I think the greatest impact here is definitely the stability, and by extension, the safety that young people will feel from the partnership.

Is there anything coming up in your organization that you’re excited about and want to share?

Friendsgiving is our yearly fundraising campaign during the months of November and December.

Thank you, Tyler, for your shared impact through both the work you do and referring young people to A Home Within!
