You Gotta Believe

You Gotta Believe (YGB) is a non-profit organization based in Ronkonkoma, New York. The company has four employees and generates over $10,000 in annual revenue. YGB focuses on finding permanent families for young adults, teenagers, and pre-teens within the foster care system. They offer a range of services, including recruiting and training foster/adoptive parents, connecting foster youth with permanent families, and providing ongoing support services before and after placement. YGB also trains partner organizations to improve recruitment and permanency outcomes and advocates for teen permanency at the regional and national levels. The organization distinguishes itself through its dedication to permanency solutions for foster youth, addressing the issue of "aging out" of care. YGB emphasizes preventing this outcome by connecting youth with families, rather than simply providing services after they age out.
