Fostering Greatness
Fostering Greatness Inc. is a nonprofit organization empowering foster care youth, young adults, and alumni in Western New York through comprehensive support in life skills, education, career advancement, leadership, and health management to foster resilience and long-term success.
Fostering Greatness Inc. focuses on developing innovative housing solutions specifically designed for foster care youth, young adults, and alumni. The goal is to provide safe and stable living environments that address immediate housing needs and offer a sense of belonging. We build support services that assist this population in transitioning from a house to a home, such as access to job training, financial literacy programs, and mentorship opportunities. By partnering with local housing agencies and community organizations, we are creating a robust network of resources that empowers these young adults to build independent, fulfilling lives while cultivating a supportive community.
