About this program

Led by people who have lived experience in kinship care, KinRise is built from inside the community, not outside of it.

We are building a place where teens feel known, supported, connected, and ready for their future.

Many teens living with grandparents, relatives, siblings, or family friends are carrying more than people realize.

KinRise was co-designed alongside youth, caregivers, and people with lived experience. Youth continue shaping KinRise through leadership opportunities, listening sessions, peer leadership, and advisory roles.

Questions

What is kinship care?

Kinship care means youth being raised by grandparents, relatives, siblings, or trusted family friends instead of parents.
