Kidsave
Kidsave's mission is to ensure that no child is forgotten, and that every child grows up in a family or has a lasting relationship to a stable adult, with love and hope for a successful future. We fulfill this mission through building connections between older foster youth and adults who are prospective mentors and/or adoptive families.
