Why Choose V2?

There are no instructions that can be given to foster alumni that will give them all the answers for adulthood. Each year 2,400 youth exit the foster care system in Georgia. They are often alone and ill-equipped for the challenges that lay ahead of them.

Your support will help to ensure that we can continue to serve foster and former foster youth and help them on as they learn and grow into successful independent adults.

Your donation will help us to:

  • recruit new Advisor/Mentor volunteers
  • cover the costs of background checks
  • enable ongoing supervision and support for both youth and volunteers
  • provide support services including:
    • Transportation
    • Life-skills workshops
    • Low-income housing
    • Money management course

You can play a part by donating to the V2 Fostering Change program.

Ways To Give:

Donate as you Shop on Amazon

Through the AmazonSmile program, your online Amazon purchases can directly benefit “V2 National Association of Foster Youth, Inc.” at no extra cost to you! Simply designate V2 as your beneficiary and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to V2 - it's a win-win!

Given the number of supporters we have, we know that the total amount of financial support coming through this program could prove substantial. We need your help to make that happen.
