Within two years of emancipation from the foster care system more than 50% of these youth will be incarcerated, homeless, victimized or dead, which is why Sierra Forever Families is so important to our society.
This devastating statistic is something that they are helping to change, one family at a time.
Sierra Forever Families is a local nonprofit agency that helps find permanent families for children who are living in foster care.
We get kids out of foster care and help them create their own family, which can look different for everyone…We want to make sure no child emancipates from the foster system without a forever family – Christie Shorrock, Fund Development Director
Beyond helping children find permanent families, Sierra Forever Families offers a variety of services including trainings, classes and orientations for families looking to adopt or who have adopted and would like further support. They also have a Wonder Mentoring Program where kids living in foster care are matched with adult mentors for a year full of fun and memorable experiences.
Uptown Studios has had the privilege of working with Sierra Forever Families, designing a new website, rebranding and managing their Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and designing other marketing materials for use.
We attended a social media training by Leidhra and Tina and then everything catapulted into a full-on partnership…We are very impressed by the creativity and are excited to continue this relationship!
Uptown Studios has enjoyed building a relationship with Sierra Forever Families and we are excited for the projects to come.
