The Carpe Diem Project, Inc.

Founded in 2012, The Carpe Diem Project, Inc is the first nonprofit organization in Washington DC dedicated to serving former foster youth. We are currently developing a comprehensive program model in partnership with the public and private sectors. Our programs will offer a broad range of services including, case management, counseling, education, and vocational support to former foster youth between the ages of 18-25. ​ Our theory of change is based on years of research and experience working with vulnerable populations. We believe that by providing a safe space in the neighborhood for former foster youth to access support we can create safety net to ensure that these youth make a smooth transition and become productive members of the community.
