At 18, many former foster youth step into adulthood without the safety net of family. HeadsUp Fox Cities changes that story, offering housing, life skills, mentorship, and a place to belong. Here, young adults are seen for who they can become.

Our mission

Walking alongside young adults aging out of foster care.

When former foster youth turn 18, the support that held them often disappears overnight. HeadsUp Fox Cities steps into that gap with housing, life skills, mentorship, and belonging, giving resilient young adults the tools to rise. By walking alongside them, the organization helps move the story from statistics to strengths.

A safe place to land

Housing gives young adults aging out of foster care a stable home base while they build toward independence.

Skills for adulthood

Life skills programming helps participants navigate the everyday tasks that family support usually provides.

Mentorship that stays

Mentors walk alongside young adults, offering steady relationships rather than another short-term program.

Seen for their strengths

Participants are met for who they can become, not the struggles that brought them here.

How generosity moves

From a gift to a young adult's next step.

The programs are fueled by the generosity of the community. Every gift makes a difference, strengthening housing, life skills, and mentorship, and there are many ways to take part beyond a one-time donation.

01
Give financially
Financial contributions strengthen housing, life skills, and mentorship programs.
02
Give monthly
Monthly support provides steady resources young adults can count on.
03
Open doors
Sharing the work, inviting others to learn more, and opening doors for collaboration help the organization grow.
04
Sponsor and give in kind
Sponsorships and in-kind gifts add resources that keep programs running.
05
Leave a legacy
Legacy giving builds a lasting foundation so future generations of young adults have the tools to thrive.

Inside the work

Strengths grow in spaces built for belonging.

Belonging takes shape in the everyday: a shared meal before a support group, a creative space to work through what adulthood brings, a clean and welcoming room someone helped build. These are the moments where young adults find their footing.
