ABOUT THE WAITLIST

We currently have over 20 amazing youth waiting to be matched in our Dare to Dream program. Our heart at Austin Angels is to connect every youth in foster care with a committed, consistent, and caring mentor. Check out just a few of our awesome youth below and reach out with any questions about how you can get involved!

We would like to note that we serve the greater Austin area. We do get youth referrals in Travis county, though none of the youth on this page are located there. The youth on this list are all located in outer areas because we have more difficulty recruiting mentors in these areas. These youth typically end up waiting for a mentor much longer than youth in Austin. If you are located in Austin but are interested in serving one of these incredible youth who are still waiting for a mentor, please reach out about hybrid mentorship opportunities.
