Make It Matter
Who We Are
Make It Matter: The Collective is a nonprofit organization committed to providing hope for foster teens aging out of the child welfare system. Our mission is to transition foster teens to self-sufficiency by working with community partners to provide one-on-one mentoring, quality housing, and other supportive services.
What We Do
We exist to equip foster youth with hope and stability through one on one support and mentorship for foster youth (ages 18-21) transitioning out of foster care into independent living. Mentees will learn valuable life skills that will set them up for success in their future, while also continuing the healing from past trauma and uncovering their God-given purpose. Through our efforts, we desire to stop the generational cycle of child welfare involvement, human trafficking, homelessness, and other daunting statistics that teenagers in foster care are faced with.
