As National Foster Care Month comes to a close, we want to highlight what long-term support actually looks like.
Tristan came to Monroe Harding as a young adult seeking guidance and opportunity. Through our programs, he was able to focus on his education and career goals. He then went on to graduate from Vanderbilt, earn his master’s degree at Columbia University, and today he serves at Monroe Harding, giving back to youth walking similar paths as an employee.
Stories like Tristan’s are why we do this work. His journey is an example of what’s possible when we show up for youth, encourage them, and create opportunities for them to thrive.
But our work does not stop when National Foster Care Month ends. Youth and young adults need support every day, and we are committed to helping them.
