Consistent connection
Consider how trusted adults and community relationships can remain part of a young person’s life through change.
Journey to Josiah / Our work
Understanding creates
the opening for change.
We connect awareness with action—helping institutions see 2SLGBTQIA+ young people more clearly and respond with greater care.
Bring this work to your organization01 / Youth advocacy
See the person.
Hear their experience.
Support begins by recognizing the young person beyond a placement, label, or case file.
Journey to Josiah brings attention to the experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ adolescents, particularly those touched by foster care and adoption. Through education and conversation, we encourage institutions to consider whose voices are missing and where support can become more affirming.

A transition should
still include connection.
Adulthood brings decisions about education, work, housing, and relationships. Young people should not have to navigate every decision alone.
Our work brings attention to the support gaps that can accompany leaving care. We invite colleges, agencies, and community organizations to examine continuity: who remains available, what resources are accessible, and how a young person knows where to turn.
The timing and conditions of leaving foster care vary. Our focus is the support young people need throughout the transition.
