Our Partners
Vegas Force Foundation
Vegas Force Foundation (VFF) is a youth-serving nonprofit committed to empowering young people through mentorship, structured programming, workforce readiness, and community engagement. Our work is designed to build leadership, confidence, and life skills that translate into long-term self-sufficiency.
We specialize in positive youth development, creating safe spaces where young people gain practical tools for adulthood while building strong connections with trusted adults and peers.
SAFY of Nevada
Specialized Alternatives for Families and Youth (SAFY) of Nevada has served Clark County families for more than 30 years. SAFY provides therapeutic foster care, behavioral health services, and family-centered supports for youth involved in child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Through a formal Memorandum of Understanding, SAFY partners with VFF to identify eligible foster youth, coordinate referrals, and ensure alignment with case planning and permanency goals

This partnership ensures youth receive both:
-
System-based therapeutic support through SAFY
-
Community-based leadership and workforce development through VFF
Together, we provide a coordinated network of care rather than isolated services.
The Program
The Foster Youth Independence Program is a three-year structured initiative serving foster youth ages 14–16 in Clark County.
Built on four core pillars — Leadership, Employability, Alliance, and Development — the program equips youth with the skills, confidence, and relationships necessary for independent adulthood.
Participants receive:
-
12 structured workshops annually
-
Consistent adult mentorship
-
Quarterly experiential learning opportunities
-
Career exposure and workforce readiness training
-
Individualized Independence Plans
-
A multi-day Summer Leadership Camp
-
Year 1 focuses on foundation building.
Year 2 develops peer mentorship and leadership responsibility.
Year 3 supports real-world workforce preparation and transition planning.
The goal is not short-term engagement.
The goal is measurable independence.
