Better Together
Better Together is a nonprofit that partners with churches, employers, and communities to provide temporary family hosting and job placement services aimed at preventing children from entering foster care.
Better Together is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2015, headquartered in Naples, Florida. The organisation brings together churches, employers, and community members to build a volunteer-powered safety net aimed at keeping families together and preventing children from entering foster care.
The nonprofit operates two primary programmes. Better Families provides temporary housing for children through vetted host families while their parents receive mentorship and support to address the underlying challenges they face. Better Jobs connects job seekers with employment opportunities through church-hosted job fairs, addressing a key factor in family stability.
Better Together is 100% privately funded and relies on a volunteer-driven model supported by professional staff. Its approach is preventative, focusing on intervening before crises escalate to the point of family separation.
