Excellerate provides teens phasing out of foster care a chance at a great life through
connection, life skills, and removing barriers to independence.
You can watch a video describing how we do that here.
These young people are in orphanages and group homes and have the ominous task of growing up with no family; no forever home. We desire to see students that society calls 'at-risk' become powerful leaders and positive influences. Excellerate is an Educational Life Skills Program that Serves Teenage Foster Care Children. Excellerate provides these young people a chance at a great life through mentoring, instruction and empowerment.
Growing up I struggled with many things. Anger, trusting people. The drugs I used erased the pain. All I wanted was someone to care about me. After I joined Excellerate, I learned how to forgive and trust people again. I know that people truly love me. Now I desire to help other people. I want to open up a maternity home for pregnant ladies.
