ABOUT
BOTW

Bridges Over Troubled Waters (BOTW) is a nonprofit organization established to address the challenges faced by aged-out foster youth (ages 18-25) in our society and to assist them as they transition into adulthood. Our holistic approach provides comprehensive support tailored to each one’s needs. 

Purpose.

Our purpose is to ensure that these individuals build a stable foundation for their future by equipping them with specific skills, resources, and support necessary to become self sufficient, law abiding, and productive citizens of society. 

Mission.

Our mission serves to bridge the gap between foster care and independent adulthood through mentorship programs, education opportunities, career training, life skills development, personal wellbeing and housing assistance. 

BOTW will foster long-term success, breaking the cycle of instability and creating a brighter future for every individual that follows through with this mentorship program.
