ISF: THE FUTURE IS NOW!
ISF’s vision for developing regional chapters to better serve and resource students exiting foster care has guided the successful launch of ISF Texas. Under the leadership of Executive Director, Faith Davis, ISF Texas has built partnerships around the state and welcomed in a record number of 35 Texas foster youth into this year’s cohort.

ISF’s leadership is laying the groundwork for launching future regional chapters. Given the large number of ISF alumni in California, we are exploring next steps for an ISF California Chapter, as well as looking at opportunities in other regions of the country. Your ongoing support enables ISF to make an even greater impact in the days to come!
