Celebrating 30 Years of Believing! A special anniversary celebration honoring Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley Jackson for their unmatched dedication and commitment.
“You Gotta Believe (YGB) exists for one reason… to work toward the day when no young person leaves foster care without the unconditional lifetime commitment of a family.
Our goal is to find youth permanent families so that they have the support system they need to live safely and to their highest potential. Whether that means helping youth reconnect to their families of origin, to other people who have played a role in their lives, or to new families that will make a new commitment to be there for life.
We believe no child should leave the foster care system without a lifelong support network in place (family). Everyone deserves a family – and that family is a critical element to human health and prosperity.”
