A Home Within is the only national nonprofit that matches volunteer therapists with current and former foster youth, both children and adults, for pro bono therapy while providing volunteer clinicians with free CEs, clinical support and networking opportunities.
Every volunteer has access to an A Home Within-facilitated clinical consultation group and staff support with clinical issues as needed. Additionally, all volunteers have access to our free CE library. A Home Within also offers CEs to our volunteers with 2-3 free live CE events via Zoom per month; we have approval from the national APA, ASWB, and NBCC to provide CEs to our volunteers.
Our volunteers comprise a nationwide community that's united by their shared commitment, and our collective impact is profound. Join our community of care and commitment at www.ahomewithin.org/volunteer. (Click on "join us" to fill out our volunteer registration form and you will hear from staff soon!)

Mission Statement
With a mission to create and support lasting, caring relationships for children and youth in foster care, A Home Within identifies, recruits, trains, and supports a network of licensed therapists who each provide free, weekly, one-to-one therapy to a single foster youth "for as long as it takes." For foster youth who often watch people move in and out of their lives, our model creates an anchor of support.
Description
With a mission to create and support lasting, caring relationships for children and youth in foster care, A Home Within identifies, recruits, trains, and supports a network of licensed therapists who each provide free, weekly, one-to-one therapy to a single foster youth "for as long as it takes." For foster youth who often watch people move in and out of their lives, our model creates an anchor of support.
Our vision is that all children who experience foster care are provided this essential support, ensuring that as they transition from foster care, regardless of which stage of life they are in, they have the inner tools they need to thrive. By matching youth with experienced therapists, we address the trauma and disruption inherent to foster care, help youth manage stress and anxiety, and develop the inner tools they need to become healthy adults.
