Helping Foster Children Forge Connections & Express Themselves
Helping Foster Children Forge Connections & Express Themselves
Elevating Connections believes the sibling relationship should be given the same priority as the parent-child relationship. We exist to help reconnect siblings who have been separated by the foster care system so they can enjoy lifelong relationships. By emphasizing the arts and self-expression, all youth in the foster care system can learn to speak their unique voice into the world.

Here to Make a Difference
Youth in the foster care system are already facing a difficult road that includes changing environments and foster families. Now consider the emotional pain children are experiencing who have to live apart from the siblings they know and love. Elevating Connections helps reconnect separated siblings in the foster care system so they can experience the beauty of a lifelong sibling relationship and all the personal and social benefits that come from that bond.
Go to our Who We Are page to learn more about us and discover how we’re helping change the lives of youth in the foster care system.
Lines of Programming
Elevating Connections helps encourage, strengthen, and motivate youth in the foster care system to find their own confident voice in the world. There are two specific ways we help accomplish this.
Sibling Connections
Our Sibling Connections program reunites siblings throughout the year so they can grow their bonds and share experiences that will last a lifetime. Sibling relationships need effort and intentionality like any other relationship, and we provide safe and exciting environments for these bonds to flourish. Go to our Sibling Connections page to learn more.
Youth Connections
The Youth Connections program focuses on helping youth ages 14 and older find their voice and express themselves through the arts. This program is geared toward youth in the foster care system in general and is not sibling-based. Elevating Connections is excited about the many opportunities this program has to offer, so go to our Youth Connections page to discover more!
