A Community Approach to
Foster Parenting
Become a Collaborative
Foster Parent
Through the Youth Connected Program, you, your family, and our teens in foster care have a community to support you every step of the way.
Support a Teen.
Build a Connection. Change a Life.
The Youth Connected Program was created to support Orange County students with a three-part approach that addresses academic needs, socio-emotional skills, and foster homes.
What makes YCP different?
You’re not in this alone
We know it takes a village to raise a child. As a Collaborative Foster Parent, you help build a lasting foundation for our teens and become part of their support system – one already made of our team and Samueli Academy staff.
While our teens live in dorms during the school week with guidance from their teachers and counselors, you become a figure of dependability and care during summer, the weekends, holidays, and all of those special midweek sports events and pep talks.
