Our Mission

Junket Inc. is a chosen family and mentoring community for young adults and their families after foster care. We equip our members with essential life skills—such as financial literacy, job readiness, relationship building, educational support and prioritizing health and wellness—alongside unwavering support and a caring network as they navigate the vital next stages of adulthood.

Our goal is to help each member structure their life and plan for their future in comprehensive, holistic ways. We offer an alternative to living in crisis mode and assist our members in either preventing crises before they occur or using them to build a stronger, more empowered version of themselves. We are proud that Junket members design a future they are excited to live.

Our members always have support and a proper seat at our table. We grow like a family, with established members becoming a support for new members. Unlike age-restricted programs, we are focused on retaining our members and offering long-term support rather than short-term services. They remain an integral part of our program for life, growing into the mentors and leaders who will shape the future.

Our members always have a safe, consistent
place to
belong.
