Partnership 4 Hope is a community-based initiative designed to address the unique challenges that YAFFYs (Young Adult Former Foster Youth) face. The community and population it serves are young adults in the greater Omaha metropolitan area, nineteen years of age and older, who have “aged out” of the foster care system.
It strives to meet these challenges by recruiting and providing this population with mentors who will establish a meaningful mentoring relationship, as well as a community support system that will partner with and help both mentor and mentee to succeed as they travel together on the journey toward independent living. It will also seek to provide material, emotional, and relational assistance to meet the challenges they face in that process.
