ELEV8 VILLAGES NATIONAL TOUR
Be the Wheels
Beneath Our Wings
What if your 18th birthday meant being handed a trash bag of your few belongs and told, “Good luck”?
For thousands of foster youth, that moment doesn't mark the end of childhood—it marks the continuation of a life lived in uncertainty from the very start.
Many have never known the feeling of safety.
Or home.
Or what it means to belong.
The Elev8 Villages National Tour is on a mission to change that. With a donated RV as our launchpad, we’ll travel the country shining a light on forgotten lives, starting a movement to build community from city to city. Laying the groundwork for villages where youth can finally find stability, dignity, and a future.
Your support isn’t just fuel for a journey—it’s lift-off for a generation.
You can be the wheels beneath our wings.
Why we're hitting the road
Every year, 20,000–26,000 youth age out of the U.S. foster system.
Alone, unsupported, and unprepared.
Within months, most will face homelessness, unemployment, early parenthood, and incarceration.
Not because they lack potential, but because they were never given a safe place to belong or grow.
These are bright minds with no one investing in them.
Dreams dimmed before they ever have a chance to shine.
It’s time to change the story.

What We're Building Together
They don’t need another shelter.
They need a village—one that sees them, believes in them, and walks with them into a future they never thought possible.
Elev8 Villages is creating permanent tiny home communities for youth aging out of foster care. Each village provides more than housing—it’s a safe, nurturing place to belong.
Here, young adults will find mentors, training, mental health support, livable wage jobs and a real chance to rise.
But before we can build the first village, we need to ignite a movement.
That’s where the Elev8 Villages National Tour begins.
We’ll travel coast to coast, rallying support, telling the truth, and inviting people to help rewrite the future.
This tour is our megaphone, our open door, our invitation to communities everywhere to be part of something transformational.
Sitting knee to knee, eye to eye and heart-to-heart, we can share this opportunity to transform generations to come.
