Empowering Youth for a Brighter Future

The Youth Providence Fund is dedicated to transforming the lives of young adults aging out of care. Together, we provide stable housing, job opportunities, and essential support for a successful transition.

Clearing the path to a brighter future

Some young adults age out of the system with no support, no home, no job, and no one to call. The Youth Providence Fund exists to change that.We clear the path, provide direction, and equip young adults exiting foster care and residential programs with the tools to thrive.

Why We Started

After visiting Josiah White’s, we saw the pride in young adults fighting to overcome impossible odds. Too often, that progress fades when the system ends and they’re left to figure it out alone. The Youth Providence Fund was created to make sure their momentum doesn’t stop there.

Our Mission

To break cycles of trauma by providing a home, a job, and a guide, so “what’s next?” becomes a future they can build on.

Real Impact

One young man was facing homelessness after treatment. Through YPF, he found housing, a job, and a new beginning. He didn’t just get by—he began to build a life.

Our Progress

Two young adults placed; twenty more in the pipeline.

Over 85% of donations go directly to housing, employment and support.

Partners include Josiah White's and the Community Foundation of Wabash County.
