Aging Into Family

Guiding youth aging out of foster care into adulthood

Welcome to Transparent Ministry

A Place to Belong, Grow and be Transformed

We help youth aging out of foster care find true belonging. By offering mentorship, life skills, discipleship and housing, we create lasting family bonds rooted in unconditional love.

Transitional Housing

Transparent is a complete, Christ-centered program supporting 18 to 25 year olds who are aging out of foster care, addressing their physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs. Shockingly, 85% of these individuals find themselves without a stable home when leaving foster care. We plan to construct 16 transitional-living student cottages and two staff homes to create a safe and loving environment. Combing these cottages with on site training for independent living and the presence of skilled staff and mentors, we aim to empower these youth for successful transitions into adulthood.

Our values are rooted in faith, family, and hope. Guided by the love of Jesus, we walk alongside youth and families with compassion and integrity while creating a safe community where lives can be transformed and futures built with purpose.
