Mission

WE MENTOR YOUNG PEOPLE AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE TO HELP THEM FLOURISH AS ADULTS.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • LIFE-SKILLS WORKSHOPS- WE GATHER YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING FOSTER CARE, CONNECT THEM WITH MENTORS, AND HELP THEM TO REIMAGINE WHO THEY CAN BECOME THROUGH INTERACTIVE, TOPIC-DRIVEN WORKSHOPS. SMALLER BREAKOUTS AFTER THE PRESENTATION FACILITATE MENTOR/YOUTH INTERACTION. WORKSHOPS MEET ONCE A WEEK FOR 90 MINUTES FOR 3 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS, FOLLOWED BY A FUN EVENT ON THE 4TH WEEK. A FAMILY HOSTS WORKSHOPS IN THEIR HOME AND WE PROVIDE A MEAL EACH NIGHT. WORKSHOP TOPICS INCLUDE: DREAMING: LEARNING TO DREAM AND OVERCOME BARRIERS TO PURSUE THE LIFE WE WANT BUILT TO LAST: HOW LIFE-TRANSFORMING HABITS HELP US TO ACHIEVE OUR DREAMS WE ALL HAVE A STORY: PERSONAL STORIES OF PERSEVERANCE AND REDEMPTION CHALLENGE: GAMES THAT BUILD TRUST, PROBLEM- SOLVING SKILLS, AND TEAMWORK MONEY: HOW TO MANAGE OUR MONEY TO HELP ACHIEVE OUR DREAMS PHYSICAL HEALTH: HOW THE WAY WE EAT, SLEEP, AND MOVE AFFECTS OUR LIVES EMOTIONAL HEALTH: LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE OUR EMOTIONS MAKING FOOD I ENJOY: LEARNING HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY, TASTY, AND AFFORDABLE MEALS CONNECTING EVENTS HAVING FUN TOGETHER IS CRUCIAL TO CONNECTING AND BUILDING TRUST. WHETHER ITS A SWIMMING PARTY OR BBQ, WHITE WATER RAFTING OR ROCK CLIMBING, A GIRLS-ONLY MOVIE NIGHT OR HOLIDAY PARTY, OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND MENTORS PLAY TOGETHER OFTEN TO DEEPEN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.

  • PERSONAL MENTORING- LIFE-ON-LIFE MENTORING IS THE HEART OF INSPIRE IDAHO, AS ONE ADULT MENTOR GETS TO KNOW WHO A YOUNG PERSON IS AND WANTS TO BE, AND HELPS THEM BUILD A ROADMAP TO GET THERE. IT IS OUR HONOR TO WALK ALONGSIDE YOUNG PEOPLE BEFORE AND AFTER THEY AGE OUT OF FOSTER CARE TO REMIND THEM OF THEIR VALUE, OFFER THEM HOPE, AND EQUIP THEM TO FLOURISH BY BECOMING THE BEST VERSION OF THEMSELVES. MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS FORM ORGANICALLY, OVER TIME, AT WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS. THREE THINGS MAKE INSPIRE IDAHO MENTORING UNIQUE: DUAL FOCUS: MANY ORGANIZATIONS SERVE FOSTER YOUTH, EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THEY AGE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AT AGE 18. INSPIRE IDAHO DOES BOTH. BY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH TEENS UNDER 18, WE ESTABLISH A PLATFORM OF TRUST THAT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE MENTORING THEM WHEN THEY AGE OUT. PERSONALIZED: FOLLOWING AN EVIDENCED-BASED APPROACH CALLED, SELF- DETERMINATION, WE GUIDE YOUTH TO DEFINE THEIR BIG WIN (THE LIFE THEY WANT TO LIVE) AND THEN HELP THEM BEGIN TO STACK SMALLER WINS THAT WILL HELP THEM TO EXPERIENCE THEIR BIG WIN OVER TIME. ALONG THE WAY, WE HELP THEM LEARN TO FLOURISH PERSONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, AND PRACTICALLY. LONG-TERM: GENUINE LIFE CHANGE DOESNT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. SO, WE TAKE THE LONG VIEW WITH OUR YOUTH, SEEKING TO WALK WITH THEM FOR YEARS, NOT MONTHS, TO HELP THEM EXPERIENCE LASTING CHANGE.
    Expenses $70,245
  • VOCATIONAL TRAINING- WE EQUIP YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE CHARACTER, CONFIDENCE, AND SKILLS THEY NEED TO CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND PROVIDE FOR OTHERS, BY HELPING THEM: LEARN TO WORK: WE CONNECT YOUTH WITH ONE-OFF, PROJECT- ORIENTED JOBS THAT ARE CLEAR AND MEASURABLE (E.G., MOVING ROCKS, PULLING WEEDS, MOWING A LAWN, ETC.). YOUTH DO NOT GET PAID BY THE HOUR BUT BY THE JOB, AFTER THE TASK IS COMPLETED. THIS APPROACH TEACHES THEM THE VALUE OF WORKING HARD, PERSEVERING, BEING RESPONSIBLE, ETC. FIND AND APPLY FOR HOURLY JOBS: MENTORS GUIDE OUR YOUTH THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LOCATING, APPLYING FOR, AND STARTING HOURLY JOBS. ADD VALUE ON-THE-JOB: MENTORS AND WORKSHOPS HELP OUR YOUTH TO DEVELOP THE CHARACTER AND DISCIPLINES THEY NEED TO SUCCEED AND ADVANCE ON-THE-JOB (E.G., THE VALUE OF BEING PUNCTUAL, DRESSING APPROPRIATELY, WORKING HARD, GUARDING THEIR ATTITUDE, FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, RESPECTING OTHER EMPLOYEES, SEEING AND DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, ETC.). EXPLORE CAREER PATHS: MENTORS GUIDE THEIR MENTEES TO DISCOVER AND EXPLORE CAREERS THAT INTEREST THEM, WHICH OFTEN INCLUDES: CONNECTING THEM WITH ONE OR MORE OF OUR VOCATIONAL TRAINING PARTNERS (LOCAL BUSINESSES) WHO MAY PROVIDE SHADOWING, INTERNSHIP, AND/OR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO QUALIFIED CANDIDATES INVESTIGATING VOCATIONAL AND/OR ACADEMIC TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP THEM TO SUCCEED IN THE CAREER OF THEIR CHOICE ENCOURAGING THEM TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP(S)
    Expenses $71,678
  • CAR PROGRAM- 9 OUT OF 10 FOSTER TEENS AGE OUT OF THE SYSTEM WITHOUT A DRIVERS LICENSE. EVEN FEWER HAVE ACCESS TO A RELIABLE VEHICLE. LACK OF RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION KEEPS THESE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM GETTING A GOOD JOB, ATTENDING SCHOOL, AND BECOMING INDEPENDENT. WE PROVIDE VEHICLES FOR QUALIFIED, 18+ YEAR-OLD TEENS IN THE INSPIRE IDAHO COMMUNITY TO HELP THEM WORK AND/OR ATTEND SCHOOL, BECOME INDEPENDENT, AND DEVELOP RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP THEM FLOURISH AS ADULTS. YOUTH WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THIS DEVELOPMENTAL, 9-MONTH PROGRAM TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR VEHICLE. DRIVER QUALIFICATIONS 18+ YEARS-OLD WITH VALID DRIVERS LICENSE INVOLVED CONSISTENTLY WITH INSPIRE IDAHO FOR 6+ MONTHS ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AN INSPIRE IDAHO MENTORING RELATIONSHIP FOR 3+ MONTHS WORKED (20+ HOURS/WEEK) OR ATTENDED SCHOOL CONSISTENTLY FOR 3+ CONSECUTIVE WEEKS SAVED 500 FOR REGISTRATION, TITLE, TAXES, INITIAL INSURANCE ATTENDED A CAR MAINTENANCE CLASS FOR THEIR VEHICLE SIGNED INSPIRE IDAHO AUTO LOAN AGREEMENT AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENTS OTHER DETAILS AND RESTRICTIONS APPLY. SHORT-TERM HOUSING PURPOSE- THE INSPIRE IDAHO TEMPORARY EMERGENCY HOUSING INITIATIVE CONNECTS AGED OUT FOSTER YOUTH IN THE INSPIRE IDAHO COMMUNITY WITH HOSTS WHO ARE WILLING TO ALLOW A YOUNG PERSON TO STAY TEMPORARILY IN A ROOM IN THEIR HOME, AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) ON THEIR PROPERTY, OR RV/TRAILER. WE HELP AGED OUT YOUTH BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS AND SEMI-PERMANENT HOUSING BY GETTING THEM SITUATED IN A SAFE LOCATION, AS THEY WORK WITH THEIR MENTOR TO FIND A JOB, GET A CAR (THROUGH OUR CAR PROGRAM) AND LOOK FOR A MORE PERMANENT DWELLING. ALL HOSTS AND LOCATIONS ARE CAREFULLY VETTED AND WE WORK HARD TO MATCH YOUNG PEOPLE AND HOSTS. TO QUALIFY FOR A TEMPORARY HOUSING ASSIGNMENT, A YOUNG PERSON MUST: BE A PART OF THE INSPIRE IDAHO COMMUNITY BE IN AN INSPIRE IDAHO MENTORING RELATIONSHIP BE ACTIVELY WORKING, PURSUING WORK, AND/OR GOING TO SCHOOL BE WILLING TO COMPLETE HOUSEHOLD TASKS AS ASSIGNED BY HOST
