Uplifting local children and youth impacted by foster care or childhood trauma by providing needed essentials, educational programs, and community connections.

Fostering Connections is a local nonprofit organization founded in 2019 that provides education programs and enrichment scholarships for youth in grades Pre-K - 12 and their families impacted by foster care, adoption, or trauma to give each youth and their families the opportunities, tools, and resources they need to thrive in life.

Aubrie Simpson-Gotham, a local educator, founded the organization to help all foster youth reach their full potential and connect volunteers and community leaders to opportunities to assist foster families in providing stable, loving homes for children in transition.

At Fostering Connections, they strongly believe that all children have unique gifts and talents to share with the world and need to know that they deserve to feel loved and valued by their family and supported by their community.

Comprised of a diverse group of professionals, the organization’s volunteer Board of Directors and Advisory Council consists of caring community leaders who are passionate about helping youth in foster care and foster parents make family feel like home. Several board members are currently foster parents or have served in that capacity.
