It Only Takes 1 Caring Adult
To change the life trajectory of a child or teen
Kids Navigating Foster Care and Adoption
Need to know that they matter and that they have people in their corner. With a little insight into their world, and the heart, you can make a big impact.
​
It doesn't have to be a profession.
You don't need to make it your full time job.
Investing 1 hr a month could be a real difference maker.
And, odds are, you already know some of these kids and families!

What If...
Could you?
-
Read or play games with a child while their parent makes dinner?
-
Supervise a child at the park while their parent attends an appointment?
-
Mentor a child to learn a hobby?
-
Take a child to their sports programs?
-
Help a child learn to ride their bike?
-
Go for an ice cream outing while their parent grocery shops?
-
Help a teen get their required supervised driving hours?
-
Go out for coffee and be a trusted, listening ear?
These are just a few examples of the small, intentional ways that you could engage with a child or youth and make a big impact in their life. Mentoring, babysitting, respite care, hanging out... call it what you will, it is all about intentional engagement!
We'll be holding free community engagement events online and within British Columbia in April and May of 2026 to help families, friends and communities to understand the needs of these kids and their families and the opportunities that average people have to make an above average difference in their lives.

Q&A with foster/adoptive parents
I don't know if I could do it.
What if...?
Too many of us have heard hard stories or imagined the possible challenges that might await.
There is a reason that these kids need people like you.
But do you know why they need you?
​
No child ends up in foster care or adoption without experiencing profound loss. And that leaves an impact.
How Might It Be Different
If we understood their stories?
