About us

Our Mission

 PBJ4KIDS exists to Provide a Better Journey for kids in foster care by creating positive, life-changing experiences that foster healing, hope, and belonging. Through our trauma-informed programs, including summer camps, mentorship, and year-round support, we are committed to meeting the emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of foster children. Rooted in compassion and driven by a deep desire to bring joy and stability, we strive to empower every child to overcome their past, embrace their potential, and build a brighter future filled with love and opportunity. Together, we are transforming lives and creating lasting memories for children who deserve nothing less. 

Our Team

At PBJ4KIDS, our team of trauma-trained volunteers embodies the heart and soul of our mission, serving as the hands and feet of the community in providing a better journey for children in foster care. Equipped with specialized training to address the unique challenges of childhood trauma, these dedicated individuals offer compassion, understanding, and stability to kids who need it most. From creating safe and joyful camp experiences to fostering trust through mentorship and ongoing support, our volunteers go above and beyond to make every child feel seen, valued, and loved. Together, they reflect the community’s commitment to bringing hope, healing, and lasting positive memories to the lives of foster children.
