TNFC participants spent time with Felicia and the Nursing Detroit Training Center team exploring careers in healthcare through hands-on CPR, EKG, and phlebotomy demonstrations.

Participants jumped in, asked questions, practiced new skills, and learned about the many pathways into the healthcare field. We were all inspired by Felicia and her team as they shared their own stories, experiences, and the journeys that brought them to where they are today.

Thank you, Felicia and Nursing Detroit, for welcoming our community, sharing your knowledge so openly, and helping expand what feels possible in healthcare. ❤️

We’re grateful for the opportunity to say yes to what God is calling us to do. 🙏

As more young adults with foster care experience reach out to The Bridge Program for support, we’re looking for a new Transition Navigator to join our team and walk alongside them as they build toward stability and independence.

This is more than a position. It’s an opportunity to build relationships, help remove barriers, celebrate progress, and show the love of Jesus Christ through meaningful, everyday support.

If you’re someone who leads with compassion, and wants your work to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

A new face. A shared vision. A lot to look forward to.

Please help us welcome Ashleigh, TNFC’s new Economic Development Manager!

Ashleigh brings six years of experience in community-centered development, with a focus on making sure the people most impacted by a project have a voice in shaping what comes next.

At TNFC, Ashleigh will help move our housing vision forward, starting with Hope Apartments. From building strategic partnerships and identifying funding opportunities to supporting the planning and development process, her work will help turn an ambitious vision into something tangible: safe, stable housing and greater opportunity for young adults aging out of foster care.

Outside of work, Ashleigh enjoys live music (especially jazz), exploring new restaurants and places, and spending time with her two cattle dog/blue heelers, Phoenix and Rooney.

We’re so glad you’re here, Ashleigh. Welcome to TNFC!
