EMBRELLA INC

    • Mission

    Embrella nurtures New Jersey foster children cradle through college, via an overlapping network of resources including foster parent training, childhood wish-granting, teenage mentoring, emergency funding, college scholarships, and advocacy to improve the child welfare system.

    About Us

    Embrella interacts with NJ foster, adoptive, and kinship families at every stage of their involvement with the child welfare system.

    We were founded in 1974 by a group of foster parents seeking to offer support, advocacy, training, and programming beyond what the state was able to provide. Today many of our Board and staff are still current foster and adoptive parents, and former foster youth.

    Embrella’s current programs, funded both by state contract and private fundraising, include the following:

    • Parenting training and guidance through the licensing process
    • Educational and career coaching for foster youth in high school (PACES program)
    • Support groups and one-on-one mentoring for foster parents (Connecting Families and Heart to Heart programs)
    • Housing, college, and financial advising and assistance for college-bound and college students in foster or adoptive care (Family Support and Scholarship Departments, and Educational Support program)
    • Horizon-expanding wish-granting for youth such as music and dance lessons, summer camp scholarships, class trips, and sports clubs (Fostering Wishes and Dreamers & Believers programs)

    Cause Areas Include

    • Education
    • Human Rights & Civil Liberties
