New Videos From NCFY: Youth Describe Their Most Meaningful Relationships: Marcus

An enduring relationship with a caring adult is one of the most important building blocks to a young person’s success. That’s why one of the Family and Youth Services Bureau’s primary goals is to help foster permanent connections for the young people they serve.

In a new video series, four youth talk about the adults who changed their lives. Together, these videos are a testament to the power of well-meaning adults to help young people get off the street, out of danger, or on a track toward self-sufficiency.

Watch the first video in which Marcus, a former foster youth from Michigan explains why his adoptive mom has been the most helpful and supportive person in his life.
