Just In Time Foster Youth: A Community of Care

Just in Time 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.  We believe consistent, long-term help from the heart is the foundation for the success of our youth so that they can thrive and enjoy productive, satisfying lives.

Lacking family support, young adults risk becoming homeless, unemployed, and under-educated. Only too often they plunge onto a path of lifelong dependence or prison.

To make our vision a reality, JIT mobilizes a caring community as an extended family for transitioning foster youth.  This is done through consistent relationships and emergency resources provided by individuals, agencies, businesses and foundations that share our core values and mission.

While other programs might assist with support such as transitional housing or college scholarships, JIT looks where there is a critical need and fills that gap to ensure that motivated youth reach their goal of self-sufficient adulthood. We also fill the most important gap of all: connections to caring adults, who then become a lifelong support system and the consistent community for the youth we serve.
