Our Story

Xtended Arms Youth & Family Services was founded to address the unique challenges faced by foster youth transitioning to adulthood. Our dedicated team understands that every young person deserves a chance to succeed, and we are here to provide the support they need. From the beginning, our mission has been clear: to provide comprehensive support that empowers these young individuals to build successful futures.

Understanding that many foster youth face unique challenges- such as lack of stable housing, emotional support, and life skills- we set out to fill these critical gaps. Our journey began with grassroots efforts to connect with local youth, listen to their stories, and understand their needs. We believe that every young person deserves access to support and guidance necessary to build a successful future.

As we embark on this mission, we are focused on developing essential programs, including mentorship opportunities, life skills workshops, stable housing, advocacy initiative. Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where foster youth can thrive and feel empowered to pursue their dreams. At Xtended Arms Youth & Family Services. we envision a future where no foster youth feels alone or unsupported. Together, we are working to create a brighter tomorrow, one where every young person has the opportunity and resources to flourish.
