5 Ways To Be Involved With Madi's Movement
No one gets there alone – and no one should have to.
At Madi’s Movement, we believe that consistent, caring relationships are the foundation for lasting change. That is why we created the Madi’S Advocate Program —a key pillar of our support model, designed to walk in step with our Academy pathways.
Advocates are not case managers. They are navigators, mentors, and trusted guides—helping young adults make sense of life’s twists and turns as they transition from foster care into adulthood.
Lend your time and heart— whether it is helping at events, supporting classes, assembling care kits, or being part of our community experiences. Every role matters.
Bring young adults behind the scenes of your workplace. From sharing career paths to offering hands-on experiences, your team can help open eyes, build confidence, and show what is possible beyond foster care.
Invest in impact. Whether you give monthly, sponsor an event, or fund a specific program, your support makes our work possible—and our young adults unstoppable.
