On any given day, roughly 7,800 children in Oregon are in the foster care system. Nearly 500,000 children in the USA are in the foster care system. The increase in demand for foster care comes at a time when opioid deaths have surged.

Or did you know, in America, 43% of children in a home are without a father? With such a burden on the foster care system, Valor Mentoring is striving to contest the effects of fatherlessness. It is their belief that by mentoring through these avenues, men of all ages will be better equipped to make healthy life choices.
