Open A Group Home: Our Youth Need You
June 29, 2021We recently launched a social media campaign trying to get folks in our area to open a group home. It will take a special person to open one but the benefits definitely outweigh the challenges. And yes, we acknowledge there will be challenges running a group home, especially for teens.
But we believe for a select few this opportunity can be great. Ask yourself, do you?
- Want to own your own business
- Want to work with older youth/teens
- Want to make a difference
- Have a passion for working with at-risk youth
There are over 10,000 children in
foster caste with a overwhelming number of teens. And opening a group home is a way to make a difference and create a revenue stream for you and your family.
Talk to us if there's an interest and we can walk you through the process. Email us today, fosterhome.gahopeinc@gmail.com.
