Have questions about fostering? Youth Villages Foster Care program hosts Open Houses and Info Sessions across Tennessee for anyone interested in learning more about foster care.
Open Houses give you a chance to speak with foster care staff, ask any questions you might have about the process and learn about taking the next steps in a relaxed setting.

Sometimes a little encouragement goes a long way. That’s why we are passionate about helping children and youth cross that finish line into successful adulthood through programs like #YVLifeSet.
Classes are back in session and summer is almost over, but it was a memorable one! Take a look at all the fun activities our campuses enjoyed during summer 2019!
These awesome young people are a great example of sacrificing holiday time for a good cause. The members of @yvamericorps left campus at 4:30 a.m. on the 4th of July to support the AJC Peachtree Road Race
When D’Kerio as 16, he came to us for help after experiencing abuse, abandonment and an unstable home environment. Now, at 26 years old, D’Kerio stands by the tools and skills he learned from his counselors. He recently graduated from college with a degree in social work and is planning to help other young people find their own path to hope and healing. He returned to the Bartlett Campus in Memphis, Tennessee, as the keynote speaker for our 2019 graduation ceremony; sharing his story and inspiration with the children in our care.
