LEARN ·2024 Grants ChallengeTAY Stay: Belonging In Community
Second Nurture mobilizes progressive Jewish communities to support local foster families in a nonsectarian way. We propose a program to bring system-impacted Transitional Age Youth into meaningful relationships with one another and dedicated adults. This integrates into our Cohort model to address the unique needs of TAY as they move into adulthood. Our partner, A Home Within, will provide volunteer therapists to lead groups while the 2N Host Community members provide mentorship, practical assistance, and a loving invitation to belonging.
