Donate Now
When you make a donation to UMFS, you empower high-risk children and teens to reach their full potential.
Teens like Melvin.
When Melvin was 15, his life changed dramatically. He entered foster care. He was referred to UMFS, and got involved in the UMFS Project LIFE program, which equips teens in foster care with critical life skills.
Melvin was skeptical at first, but over time he became one of Project LIFE’s most active members. The skills Melvin developed through Project LIFE helped him achieve a major life goal: college. Today, Melvin is proud to be a student at Old Dominion University.
You can help teens like Melvin achieve a brighter future.

Luan Laying the Groundwork for His Future
Ask Luan about landscaping, and he’ll tell you he digs it. It hasn’t always been that way, though. “I didn’t think it was any fun,” Luan said of his first few days as an apprentice.
