WAY Alliance is a North Texas 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping youth with foster care experience (ages 14-24) develop the relationships, resources, and skills they need to thrive in adulthood. Our programming includes one-to-one mentoring, connections to local resources for housing, education, jobs, etc., life skills training, and recreational opportunities.

OUR VISION is a community where all youth in North Texas transitioning from foster care to independence:
• are connected to caring adults who support them.
• have a safe place to live.
• are mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy.
• are secure in who they are and where they've been.
• are motivated to achieve their goals.
• are earnestly pursuing an education or training that will set them up for future success.
 
To turn that vision into reality, OUR MISSION is to:
• connect youth ages 14-24 who have experienced foster care with a supportive adult who has been trained as a strengths-based, trauma-informed mentor.
• meet the physical, educational, and financial needs of the youth by connecting them to resources in the community.
• introduce youth to new opportunities where they can learn and practice important life skills.
 
OUR CORE VALUES are summarized in the following statements:
• We demonstrate the love of Christ to youth in all of our actions.
• We are trustworthy and responsible.
• We act with compassion and integrity.
• We promote the welfare and safety of youth.
• We promote justice for youth.
• We honor youths' voices in designing and delivering our services.
• We respect the rights, dignity, and intrinsic worth of youth.
