Our Mission
Junket Inc. is a chosen family and mentoring group for young adults after foster care. We equip our members with essential life skills such as financial literacy, job readiness, relationship building, prioritizing health and wellness, alongside a network of people in their corner as they step into the vital next stage of adulthood. We remain a constant support, resource and chosen family as they navigate the joys and struggles that come with independent living.
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 help our members prevent crises before they happen or utilize the crisis 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. At any point, they may return to celebrate a win, announce a huge life event, or seek help in a crisis. 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.

Diversity is a fact. Equity is a choice. Inclusion is an action.
Belonging is an outcome.
