At A Home Within, our volunteer therapists answer the call each and every day. This very week, hundreds of young people around the country will sit down with their A Home Within therapist - some for the first time, some for the hundredth.

By investing in the future of A Home Within, you’re helping ensure that current and former foster youth receive the help they need—today, tomorrow, and decades from now. 🌱

Join us in appreciating National Program Director, Grace Manger, who has made the difficult decision to step down from her position after four and a half wonderful years!

It’s hard to put into words how much Grace Manger means to A Home Within. She’s poured extraordinary care, thoughtfulness, and leadership into our programs—shaping the A Home Within of today. Grace has supported clients, clinicians, and other staff members with wisdom beyond her years, all while walking her own path toward licensure.

Though we're so sad she’s stepping down from staff, we’re also grateful she’s staying on as a volunteer. 💛 Her heart remains with this work—and with all of us. Thank you for everything, Grace!
