UTD Foster Connect

Hobbies & Special Interests
Mission/Purpose: The first organization of its kind, Foster Connect aims to serve Dallas area foster youth through mentorship, tutoring, and advocacy. Texas has one of the largest foster care systems with 47,000 foster youth entering in 2019 alone, many of which are in Dallas and Collin County. We hope to bridge the gap between these communities and foster long-term mentorships with UT Dallas students.
