SailFuture’s mission to provide comprehensive, effective, continuous services to teenage foster youth in crisis to help them stabilize, gain an increased sense of self-worth, and engage in healthy relationships. Traditionally, foster youth have multiple people who cycle in and out of their lives, creating constant instability. Our goal is to provide a continuum of care to foster youth between the ages of 14-22 through an integrated approach that includes multiple treatment options. We’ve created a model unique to our sector that manages all facets of foster care under one organization—housing, education, case management, and therapy. In addition, we provide challenging, rite-of-passage sailing experiences both domestically and internationally to forge meaningful relationships between staff and youth. Upon completion of our program, our youth will have stable housing, a high school diploma/GED and plan for continuing education, connection to community, job skills, an expanded worldview, and renewed self-confidence.
