By Foster Youth For Foster Youth

Adversity greatly impacts development and life outcomes. Help us give foster youth in Puerto Rico the tools and support they need to heal and succeed.

Yalanis, Valeria & Alana
They created OCA as to share alternative tools with peers.

OCA exists because

Yalanis, Valeria & Alana realized young people in foster care needed a wide range skills to be prepared to navigate their circumstances successfully. 

OCA catalyzes socioeconomic growth for foster youth through:

  • positive social connections & peer mentoring
  • insights into how humans and the mind works
  • direct support from lived experience 
  • social learning activities 
  • experience based-strategies for self-management 
  • safe, inclusive and engaging environments
  • support in daily life and emergency situations

Examples of how we are supporting youth in Puerto Rico :

  • provide transportation

  • help set up living space 
  • celebrate important events
