About The Chamber
Our Mission
The nation’s first nonprofit chamber of commerce built exclusively for foster youth — and the reason it has to exist.
Our Mission
To break the foster care to prison pipeline by providing access to local resources and opportunities that support aging-out foster youth — collaborating with leaders, businesses, and programs to prepare young people ages 16–24 to become productive, connected members of society.
Our Vision
“A world where foster youth thrive beyond care.”
No young person should face adulthood without a community behind them. We are building the network, the opportunities, and the family that the system never provided.
The Problem We’re Solving
Every year, thousands of young adults age out of foster care — alone.
No safety net. No network. No roadmap. At 18, most young people can still call home. Foster youth who age out often can’t. The Foster Care Chamber exists to replace that void with community, opportunity, and economic power.

Why a Chamber?
The Dual Commitment of the Chamber
Charities give. Chambers connect. We serve two sides of the same mission — the youth themselves, and the entire network of people and organizations fighting for them.
Commitment 1
Empower Foster Youth
Equipping foster youth with the tools they need to build independent and thriving lives after care, by providing training, mentorship, resources, and opportunities that prepare them for adulthood.
Commitment 2
Support Those Who Support Youth
Serving organizations, businesses, and advocates who work tirelessly for foster youth, through collaborative networks, resource sharing, joint initiatives, and other opportunities for growth, impact, and sustainability.
Jobs & Careers
Training, internships, and employers who are ready to hire foster youth.
Money & Finance
Banking basics, budgeting, and building credit for a stable future.
Housing Help
Resources and referrals on the path to safe, stable housing.
Community
Village Table circles, mentors, and people who get it.
How We Do It
Three engines. One mission.
The Village Table
A monthly gathering of 180+ organizations serving foster youth across Southern Nevada — connecting resources so no young person falls through the cracks.
We Are The Voices Of
Our youth-led radio show on KSHP 1400 AM / 107.1 FM, every Sunday at noon — foster youth telling their own stories, on their own terms.
Membership & Programs
Businesses and nonprofits whose dues fund life skills workshops, mentorship, kit drives, and direct opportunities for youth members.
You didn’t age out of a family. You aged into ours.
The mission needs people. Be one of them.
Whether you’re a young adult ready to connect, a business ready to join, or someone who just wants to help — there’s a place for you here.
