Youth Villages

Against all odds.

Youth Villages

Pushing weight.

Isolated. Uncertain. Out of control. This is the everyday reality for thousands of kids and teens in the foster care system across the country. Without the stability of a home and family, having the right support and resources can be the difference in walking two very different paths in life. Youth Villages provides this support and services to more than 25,000 young people every year. With an upcoming fundraiser, Youth Villages partnered with Watson Creative to produce a video telling the story of Donovan Ford, an Olympic weightlifter who grew up in foster care and found family in an unlikely place.
