The founders of Ampersand Families wondered if they could turn the clock back on statistics of kids aging out of care. What if more displaced youth experienced the commitment of a permanent, loving family and a safe place to heal? What if they transitioned to adulthood in a network of supportive, committed relationships, with a safety net for inevitable mistakes? What if every youth believed he or she was worthy of those things?
I’m proud that as a member of the board of Ampersand Families, I’m going along to find out.
