About Fostered Journeys

Fostered Journeys is a transformative travel program created to help Black and Brown girls from foster care and low-income households see the world—and their worth.

We believe that new environments spark new possibilities. Through group trips, cultural exploration, and mentorship, Fostered Journeys gives girls ages 12–21 the chance to step outside their everyday surroundings and into life-changing experiences.

Each travel cohort participates in pre-trip workshops that build sisterhood, self-awareness, and travel readiness. During each journey, girls are immersed in hands-on learning, community building, and joyful discovery—returning home not only with new memories, but with a new sense of confidence and clarity.

Fostered Journeys is more than a trip. It’s a turning point.
