Beyond Foster Care: A Community for Life

Less of a program, more like a family.

Our Mission

Founded in 2011, Junket Inc. is a long-term mentoring community supporting young adults and their families after foster care. We help members build stable, empowered lives rooted in resilience and connection by offering career guidance, real-world readiness, smart money skills, family support and most importantly a chosen family where they will always be welcome.

We break the cycle of crisis by offering proactive support that helps members turn challenges into opportunities so they can focus on decisions that move them forward. With over a decade of impact, our members flourish—94% have healthcare, 88% are employed and housed, and many have shifted into mentors and leaders.

Our goals are clear: empower economic mobility, strengthen crisis navigation, and cultivate family wellness.
Junket is more than a program; it’s a lifelong investment in belonging, leadership, and lasting impactful change. 

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