Foster Youth Voice Month: Driven by Experience✨

Every young person’s story deserves to be heard. This month, we’re celebrating the lived experiences of youth in foster care and recognizing how their experiences shape their voices, inspire leadership, and create change.

At Raise the Future, we believe every young person deserves to feel heard, empowered, and connected to opportunities where they can thrive. @selflesslovefoundation

We’re honored to be named Colorado’s 2026 Angels in Adoption® honoree!

This recognition is especially meaningful because Colorado is where Raise the Future began more than 40 years ago. With this honor, we’ve now received Angels in Adoption® recognition in all three states we serve - Colorado, Utah, and Nevada.

We’re incredibly grateful to Congresswoman Diana DeGette for this recognition and to the staff, families, partners, and supporters who make our work possible every day.

At the heart of it all is one mission: connecting youth in foster care with caring adults and helping those relationships last a lifetime.

✨ Visit https://www.raisethefuture.org/blog and learn more about this meaningful milestone!

What a day to remember! 💙

Our youth had the incredible opportunity to attend a soccer clinic at America First Field, where they got to play soccer, meet players, and get autographs! The day ended with dinner and plenty of memories to take home.

Some of our youth even said it was the “best day of their life.” 🥹

We’re so grateful to @sme_steel @millersportsent , @realsaltlake and @utahroyalsfc for creating this unforgettable experience and giving our youth the chance to play.⚽️💙 by @raise.the.future

Caring for someone else takes a lot of you. Making space to recharge isn’t stepping away from that care—it’s part of what helps you keep showing up.

Whether you’re in Colorado, Nevada or Utah, we rounded up a few simple ways to refill your own cup, too.

Save this for the days you need a little reset.

Kinship is more than a connection on paper. It’s familiarity, shared history, and having someone in your corner who already feels like home.

In this edition of More Than a Buzzword, we’re talking about what kinship can mean for youth and families, and why those connections matter.

A little check-in can go a long way. This National Suicide Prevention Month, send this to a friend who could use some extra love, support, or a reminder that they’re not alone.

⚾️ A first pitch to remember! 💙

For youth in foster care, the cost of sports, dance, fitness programs, equipment, and other activities can make opportunities feel out of reach.

Utah Youth Sports Giving Day has started! Your gift to Raise the Future can help remove those financial barriers and give youth the chance to join a team, try something new, build confidence, and experience belonging.

Thank you @sme_steel for giving Colton this fun experience! And @kslnews for documenting this amazing moment!

✨ Visit the link in our bio to give now!
