Who We Are

At Raise the Future, we believe every young person goes through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past. Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.

Since our founding in 1983, Raise the Future has designed and implemented evidence-based, wraparound services that reduce the amount of time youth in foster care live without a permanent family. Our programs increase the likelihood of forming and sustaining positive connections that help to transform their futures.

What You Will Learn

As a Family Support Services Manager, you will continue to learn and apply valuable tools and techniques of the Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), which is an evidence-based caregiving model rooted in attachment theory and developmental neuroscience and provides trauma-informed intervention tools designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children.
