Want to mentor a youth leaving foster care?

Safe Families for Children is a movement fueled by compassion to keep children safe and families intact. We rely upon host families, and a network of support, to open their

arms, their hearts, and their homes.

Founded in 2003, Safe Families for Children is located in 70 cities across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and beyond. Safe Families create extended family–like supports for desperate families through a community of devoted volunteers who are motivated by faith to keep children safe and keep families intact.

In many situations, parents or guardians may be incapable of providing a safe and caring environment for their children, putting them at risk of abuse and neglect. In the past, extended family or neighbors stepped in to help families in crisis by caring for their children for short periods of time. Today, however, many families are socially isolated, and their extended family is nonexistent, unavailable, or unable to help.
