We’ve offered intensive foster care services for youth in Massachusetts for over 100 years, albeit under different names. But what is our agency’s impact on youth in foster care? We talked to Intensive Foster Care Program Director Laqunda Nystrom to find out.

For National Foster Care Month, we’re proud to share this story that exemplifies our Intensive Foster Care team’s dedication to helping every child find permanency.

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate our 150th Anniversary at the Cambridge Hyatt Regency Hotel on May 9! If you weren’t able to attend our Gala, don’t worry - we’re sharing all the details to inspire you to reserve your ticket for next year.

“We’re here to plant seeds with our families,” says Family Support & Stabilization Director Thara Young. “Once we’re out of the picture those seeds are hopefully able to grow.” Read about Bridges Homeward’s impact in supporting families and helping them to stabilize!

Our Executive Director Yoyo Yau outlines the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion at our agency and plans for how we will implement these values moving forward.

For 150 years, we’ve built bridges between the youth and families we serve and the resources that help them stabilize, find love and safety, and pursue fulfilling lives.

“As we celebrate 150 years of service, we’re more energized than ever to carry our mission into the next century and a half… In these past 150 years, everything we've been through has made Bridges Homeward who we are as an agency,” writes our Executive Director Yoyo Yau.
