Overview

Mission

The seattle angels mission is to walk alongside children, youth, and families in the foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.

What it reported doing in 2024

Seattle angels programming (love box & dare to dream) provides fostering families (caregivers, children in foster care, and biological/adopted children)with community and holistic support. This wrap-around support enables caregivers to continue to do the important and meaningful work of being foster parents. Volunteers meet with families on a monthly basis to help provide support, consistentcy, and normalcy as well as friendship and encouragement to the families they serve. Our dare to dream program walks alongside youth as they navigate through life's challenges. The youth in the dare to dream program need wisdom,, advice, encouragement, and community that mentors can provide. Mentors meet practical and emotional needs as well as provide guidance through developmental milestones. The goal is for youth to be engaged and to feel supported and equipped to navigate life. Youth in this program are ages 15-22. Monthly love boxes and one-time special-occasion boxes were provided to over 318 children in foster care and foster families utilizing 3,029 volunteer hours. Dare to dream served 22 youth monthly.
