Empowering transition age foster youth to become capable, confident and connected!
About us
Just in Time for Foster Youth’s mission is to engage a caring community to help transition age foster youth achieve self-sufficiency and well-being. Just in Time for Foster Youth (JIT) envisions a future in which every youth leaving the foster care system has a community of caring adults waiting for them after 18.
