United Friends of the
Children empowers current and former foster youth on their journey to
self-sufficiency through service-enriched education and housing programs,
advocacy and consistent relationships with a community of people who care. By building relationships with youth over an
extended period, UFC’s programs focus on commitment and consistency. UFC has two direct service departments:
Housing and Education. Our Pathways
Housing Program provides students with housing and support services as they
seek to obtain stable and secure housing and employment. Our Education Programs consist of the College
Readiness Program and the College Sponsorship Program. The College Readiness
Program provides seventh through twelfth grade foster youth with academic
counseling and support to help them graduate from high school and attend a
four-year college. The College
Sponsorship Program provides academic, personal and financial support to foster
youth to help them graduate from a four-year college or university.
