Many of us have taken a personality or archetype assessment, but few have had the opportunity to explore the deeper meaning behind the results. This summer, Fostering Hope launched True Beauty Discovery Legends at Applewood Centers Inc., giving teen girls an opportunity to discover their “Legend” while learning more about themselves and one another.

Bring together a partnership led by Fostering Hope, the generosity and expertise of Fieldstone Farms and foster family coordination from the experts at Bellefaire JCB, and you create a week filled with learning, connection, and new possibilities for 7 youth in foster care.

During the first week of August, youth in residential treatment at Applewood and Bellefaire JCB held their Hope Grows Here Summer Markets, the culminating project of Fostering Hope’s summer garden program.

With the Love and Attention of Applewood Teens.

For several years Fostering Hope has partnered with Applewood to maintain 18 garden beds and provide STEAM programming for the youth living in the residential facility on Cleveland’s west side.
