โœจ Join us for an unforgettable evening of love and inclusion as we shine a spotlight on our LGBTQIA+ youth in care!
Journey to Josiah is a Black-led, LGBTQIA+-founded social enterprise committed to building pathways to safety, belonging, and purpose for youth impacted by the foster care system. Our mission is to empower youth to define who they are, chart their futures, and build the life skills necessary to thrive, whether they age out of care, transition into permanency, or reside in group settings.
In 2025, our focus turns even more intentionally toward supporting LGBTQIA+ youth themselves. These young people are dramatically overrepresented in foster care, yet they remain some of the most under-supported. This year, we are responding with bold new programming โ€” one that ensures every child has a chance to grow up in a safe, affirming, and loving home.
At the Gala, weโ€™ll share powerful stories, unveil our latest impact, and present a vision for the future that we can only achieve together. It will be an evening filled with inspiration, celebration, and community โ€” featuring live entertainment, dinner, a silent auction, and unforgettable moments.
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Tickets are available now. Space is limited so donโ€™t wait and secure your seat at this extraordinary event now.
๐Ÿ’Œ Sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, please contact David Marshall at [email protected].
Together, we can change the future โ€” one child at a time.
