About

Fostering Hope Ohio

Connecting and enriching youth who live in residential treatment and foster care with unique experiences of hope and healing.

Fostering Hope was established in 2013 to raise awareness of the challenges faced by children within the foster care system and provide opportunities to them while engaging the community in which they reside.

Founders Nicole Shefrin, Jason Shefrin and Jessica Everest,  along with Fostering Hope’s volunteers, work to provide foster children with often taken-for-granted experiences that typify most children’s lives, but due to limited financial and volunteer resources are sometimes lacking in the foster care setting.
