At FPC Hope Center, we help young adults living in Kanawha and Clay counties, ages 18 to 25, transitioning from foster or kinship care move toward greater stability, confidence, and independence through caring relationships, case management, and practical guidance.

We believe every young person in West Virginia deserves the support they need to succeed.

What support looks like

Every path is different, that’s why we offer flexible support built around each person’s goals, needs, and next steps.

Young adults can be matched with a caring adult mentor who will listen, encourage them, and help them work toward personal goals. Mentors offer consistency, support, and a trusted relationship.
