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

When you spread the word about our mission to your network, you help us find more potential Collaborative Foster Parents, and that means more connections and guidance for our youth.

The bonds of family are so important to us within [ORGANIZATION NAME] and at home.
That’s why we’ve partnered with the Youth Connected Program, a nonprofit focused on creating a community of support for teens in foster care with the help of Collaborative Foster Parents.
Teens enrolled in YCP attend Samueli Academy’s family-style dorm experience and future-oriented education during the week and spend time with their Collaborative Foster Families during weekends, holidays, vacations, and other special events.
How can you get involved? YCP needs more Collaborative Foster Parents to support youth alongside their staff and teachers at Samueli Academy. Are you interested in becoming a foster parent? Then this program is for you.
Visit youthconnectedprogram.org (or send this social post to someone you know who might be interested) to learn more about YCP and sign up for an info session.

Subject Line: Partnering with YCP
At [ORGANIZATION NAME], we are committed to supporting the youth in Orange County. We know that building valuable connections and lending a helping hand strengthens our bonds within our community.
We are proud to partner with the Youth Connected Program, a nonprofit focused on creating a community of support for teens in foster care. YCP pairs their youth with Collaborative Foster Parents for stable home environments, and during the school week students attend Samueli Academy for a family-style dorm experience. 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 is a completely unique approach to foster care, and we encourage you to share YCP’s mission with your network. As members of the [ORGANIZATION NAME] family, we know it’s important that we do our part to actively create a community for teens in need.
How can you get involved? If you or someone you know would make a great Collaborative Foster Parent, we invite you to visit youthconnectedprogram.org to sign up for an info session with YCP. 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.
