We wanted to share a recent story from one of our incredible Dare to Dream® mentors.

Recently, she and her mentee toured Hawkeye Community College and the Waterloo Career Center, taking some of the first steps toward planning for the future. Together, they explored opportunities, discussed possibilities, and began creating a path for life after graduation.

This mentor has also had a deeper conversation with our case manager this spring about Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI). Before they are matched, all of our volunteers learn about this "holistic, attachment‑based, trauma‑informed model designed to support children and youth who have experienced adversity."*

Through this conversation, she gained a deeper understanding of her mentee's experiences and recognized how painful it can be when biological family members are unable to show up in the ways a young person hopes or expects. Those disappointments can reinforce feelings of hurt and continue the cycle of trauma.

By showing up consistently, however, this mentor is helping to rewrite that story.

With every visit, conversation, and commitment she keeps, she is helping her mentee feel seen, valued, and worthy of care and support. She is demonstrating that dependable relationships exist and that someone believes in her future.

This is what Dare to Dream® is all about. We are building futures, changing outcomes, and showing up when it matters most❤️

Kids helping kids. This is where it starts. 💛

It started with parents who chose to involve their kids early, teaching them that showing up for others is just part of who we are.

Now, these three are doing chores, saving their money, and choosing month after month to give to the Angel Alliance.

And in the process, they are learning something bigger than generosity.

That their actions matter.

That consistency builds trust.

That even at a young age, they can help change someone else’s story.

Because when you learn to show up early, it becomes part of who you are.

If kids can do this, imagine what is possible for all of us.

Caring for children and families experiencing foster care is not someone else’s responsibility. It belongs to all of us.

Reaching every child will take a community of people willing to say yes.

This is how change happens. Together.

So what is your yes?

Yes to volunteering.
Yes to mentoring.
Yes to giving.
Yes to partnering.

Ready to say yes? Get started today by visiting https://www.cedarvalleyangels.org/ 🫶

Foster Care Month is coming to an end. The mission is not.

This isn’t one-sided.

Showing up changes lives and it changes you too.
It builds purpose, perspective, and connection in ways you do not expect.

82% of youth, families, and volunteers stay connected even after the program ends. Your yes creates lasting relationships that change lives, and you in the process.

Every yes — mentoring, volunteering, giving, or partnering, leaves a mark that lasts far beyond the program.

How will you give your yes?

Thank you so much to MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center for once again selecting us as one of the beneficiaries of their Jeans Day fund drive 👖❤️ It was such a special morning celebrating the generosity of MercyOne employees alongside five other local nonprofit beneficiaries.

Thank you so much to the MercyOne Cedar Falls and Waterloo Foundations and all of the MercyOne employees who made this fund drive possible! 😊

These Love Box® volunteers said yes.

And what started as showing up for a family became something more, something that changed everyone involved.

This National Foster Care Month, here’s what we know: showing up for children and families experiencing foster care doesn’t just change their lives – it changes yours too.

Because when families are supported, everything shifts.
They can keep showing up for their children.
And when volunteers show up, their lives are changed too.
What begins as a simple yes becomes connection, purpose, and community.

Children are waiting. Families are ready.
If this mission stirs something in you – don’t ignore it.

Will you say yes?
Yes to volunteering.
Yes to mentoring.
Yes to giving.
Yes to partnering.

There’s no one way to say yes. Just yours.

Somewhere along the way, we stopped showing up for our neighbors. We’re here to change that and we’re asking you to be part of it.

When you say yes to consistent support, you help provide children and families with stability, connection, and the tools they need to thrive before challenges become crises.

Your yes can change the foster care experience. What’s your yes? Volunteer. Mentor. Give. Partner.

If this reality sparks something in you, don’t ignore it.

Take the next step today. Visit https://www.cedarvalleyangels.org/ ❤️

These Dare to Dream® mentors said yes.

Yes to showing up. Yes to consistency. Yes to walking alongside youth experiencing foster care.
This National Foster Care Month, understand this: the foster care system is complex but the solution is simple. It’s people. People who choose to show up again and again, building consistent, caring relationships along the way.

Because when consistent relationships are present, everything shifts. Confidence grows. Stability increases. Youth begin to see what’s possible for their future.

That’s the power of mentorship, not fixing, but showing up. You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to say yes.

There’s no one way to say yes. Just yours.
Be the reason someone’s story changes.
