Programs
At The YOGI Foundation, we support youth and families impacted by incarceration through faith-based outreach, mental health awareness, and community service opportunities. Our programs are designed to inspire hope, promote healing, and build unity, with our annual JoyFest event serving as a special time for connection and encouragement.
Family Futures
At The YOGI Foundation, we know how tough it can be when someone you love is incarcerated. Family Futures is here to help youth and their families find hope and support during difficult times. We offer caring groups where you can talk, connect, and learn how to stay close, even when you’re apart.
- Events to bring families together for encouragement and healing
We offer fun and positive activities like group meetups, community service projects, and special events where kids and teens can connect, express themselves, and learn new skills. We also have unique events like JoyFest that focus on hope, healing, and building friendships in a supportive environment.
Most of our programs and events are free for families, kids, and teens. Some special activities may have a small fee, but we work hard to make sure everyone can join, no matter their situation.
Faith And Wellness
Faith is at the heart of what we do. Our Faith And Wellness program helps young people discover strength and comfort through spiritual guidance. We focus on mental health too, because we believe your mind and heart matter just as much as anything else.
We offer a caring space for youth and families dealing with having a loved one in prison. Through faith-based outreach, mental health support, and community activities, we help everyone feel less alone, understand their feelings, and find hope together.
