Program Overview
Anchored Hope provides a safe, supportive home for youth ages 18–24 who have aged out of foster care.

Our home gives youth a welcoming space to practice independence, build confidence, and prepare for adulthood.

NoneStudent and Volunteer Success Stories
Before coming to Anchored Hope, I didn't think I could finish my HiSET. With support from my mentor and the life-skills workshops, I studied and have passed nearly all of my exams. I'll complete the rest next month, and now I feel ready to take the next steps toward college and a career. I'm proud of everything I've accomplished
