WayPoint Youth Foundation

WayPoint Youth Foundation We coach, connect, and inspire youth and young adults from hard places.

We offer the Academic Life Coaching program for free for those ages 16-26 who have either aged out of foster care, will be aging out, or who come from a similarly hard place. We are creating a national network of volunteers or Story Changers, as we like to call them, who can offer additional local support in securing housing, employment, college application assistance, etc.

Our Story

Approximately 23,000 youth age out of foster care per year and a majority of those have little to no resources when they do so. This results in high levels of homelessness, incarceration, the risk of becoming a human trafficking victim, teen pregnancy, etc. As time goes on the social and financial costs and repercussions continue to grow at an exponential rate.

While this is the current reality, we do NOT believe it needs to be a future reality.

Here is a quick high level summary of our plan: Purchase and run seasonal businesses where youth and young adults can live on the grounds, work, learn, make great community connections, and go through the Academic Life Coaching program where they will create a meaningful and actionable plan for what they want to do with their lives and how they are going to get there. Our projected social ROI is pretty amazing - if you are curious you can learn more here: https://waypointyouthfoundation.org/entrepreneurial-training-center/

Independent of our social enterprise plans, we also raise funds for those ages 16-26 who have either aged out of foster care or will be aging out to work with an Academic Life Coach. We offer coaching nationwide. We are in the process of creating a national network of volunteers or Story Changers, as we like to call them, who can offer additional local support in securing housing, employment, college application assistance, for this demographic of youth and young adults.
