YGB specializes in finding permanent families for young adults, teens, and pre-teens in foster care. We believe that no child should age out of the foster care system without the support and love of a family. Whether that means helping youth reconnect to their families of origin, to other people who have played a role in their lives, or to new families that will make a new commitment to be there for life. We recruit, train, certify and license parents who are willing to make an unconditional lifetime commitment. Likewise, we commit to providing ongoing support for our families for as long as they need. To honor his legacy, Discovery Inc. established the The Willie Garson Fund at You Gotta Believe to support our work of connecting every child in foster care to a loving family that commits to being there for life. The fund directly supports our Nobody Ages Out initiative, providing the services and resources needed to ensure their profound journey to becoming a family is a success.

We meet the basic needs of as many children in our community as possible. We currently pack and deliver over 7,500 bags of weekend food to local kids each month . We currently provide food bags for over 20 schools and community programs. As we are able, we collect and distribute school supplies and uniforms to the students as well. We also deliver lunch bags to children in local hospitals, and maintain a foster care closet. The second purpose of our group is to provide child-friendly community service opportunities. We host packing events multiple days each week to allow the community(especially children and families) to help pack and deliver the bags. In 5 years we have grown from 50 bags a month to over 7,500! We can't wait to see what the community can come together and do in the next 5 years!!!
