The Youth Connected Program helps teens have a safe, supportive, and empowering community where they can thrive.

Thanks to the support of our community and Collaborative Foster Parents, we’ve created a different way to foster Orange County students with a three-part approach that addresses academic needs, life skills, and foster homes. 

Teens can now strive toward goals like graduating high school, applying for college, and preparing for life after higher education – all with the guidance and love of their Collaborative Foster Families, the staff at Samueli Academy, our team at YCP, and so many more advocates for their futures.

Hello, NAME!


If you're looking to make a difference in a teen's life, we've got great news: the Youth Connected Program is looking for YOU. 

What is YCP? The Youth Connected Program is designed to change foster care for teens by matching them with Collaborative Foster Parents (that’s you!) for a stable home environment.

YCP, with their connection to Samueli Academy, offers students a family-style dorm experience from Sunday night to Friday afternoon. During weekends, holidays, vacations, and other special events, students live with their local foster families. Foster parents support their teens throughout the week like any full-time, at-home relationship – available for advice, listening, and just being there. This new approach to foster parenting creates a collaborative community for teens and parents alike.

Want to get involved? Join YCP at an upcoming info session to learn more about this unique opportunity to join their support system. They’ll share more details about what it truly means to change a teen’s life, become a mentor, and be a strong support system as a Collaborative Foster Parent.


If you know someone who would make a great Collaborative Foster Parent, pass along this email to spread the word about YCP’s incredible work!

Best,
