A New Beginning Adoption Agency Inc

Adoption is a journey filled with many emotions and experiences for the adoptees, adoptive families and the birth families.  A New Beginning established the Youth Advisory Board in 2015 to empower adopted teens and they’ve become incredible Youth Ambassadors for Adoption!   Pre-teen and teen adoptees are invited to this safe environment to be with other young people who’ve had similar experiences or have a better understanding of their issues.  Meeting twice per month, the youth board has already built strong bonds, become Ambassadors for Adoption by speaking to families considering adoption, been introduced to career development by Junior Achievement, planned and implemented an annual Celebration for adopted kids in the Treasure Valley hosting a Homecoming Dance.  There are ongoing lessons and activities developing communication and life skills, goal setting and achievement and creating a healthy identity.   Monthly program costs average $500.   It’s free to be a member and our goal is to keep costs for each teen as low as possible.  We are hoping to raise $5,400 to continue member scholarships, essential education and career experiences, continue mentor-development; self esteem curriculum and community service.  Help us make a difference in the lives of our youth adoptees.  They are making an incredible impact on families and our communities.
