Empowering Foster Youth in Metro Detroit
The Alabaster Box Youth Outreach INC is a Michigan-based nonprofit helping foster youth transition into adulthood across Metro Detroit through in-person, faith-driven, holistic support that addresses housing insecurity, emotional healing, and life readiness in a safe, nurturing environment.
Build a Brighter Path Forward
We help young adults aging out of foster care create strong, independent futures through hands-on support, emotional guidance, and practical opportunities. From stable housing to career development and mentorship, we provide everything needed to move from surviving to thriving in the real world.
Real Support. Real Impact.
Our programs are designed to meet the real needs of foster youth stepping into adulthood. With care, structure, and purpose, we offer hands-on guidance that helps them grow, heal, and thrive.
Career Readiness That Empowers
Participants gain real-world job skills, workplace confidence, and connections to local employers—building a foundation for long-term independence through hands-on development opportunities.
Stability With Purpose
Our dorm-style housing offers more than shelter—it creates a safe, supportive space with daily routines, mentorship, and resources that prepare youth for life beyond the program and into independence.
Healing Through Faith and Care
We provide trauma-informed support grounded in faith, offering each young adult a path toward healing, renewed self-worth, and spiritual strength as they navigate the transition into adulthood.
The Heart Behind Our Mission
What started as a calling has become a movement of restoration, dignity, and hope. Learn about the story, the team, and the vision behind our work—and why we’re committed to walking alongside every young person we serve, for the long haul and every step of the way.
Rooted in Purpose, Built for Impact
Choosing the right support system matters—especially for young adults facing life after foster care. Our approach blends heart, strategy, and community to create meaningful, lasting transformation every step of the way.
All-in-One Community Care
We provide housing, guidance, and support all under one roof, creating a stable, consistent environment where young people can focus on healing, growing, and preparing for independent adulthood and thriving.
A Model That Sustains Growth
Our pay-it-forward model links local businesses and participants, building strong pipelines for employment and sustainability that uplift both young adults and the Metro Detroit community around them.
Faith-Driven and Trauma-Informed
Our trauma-informed, faith-based care supports emotional growth, helping each participant move forward with confidence, inner peace, and the resilience needed to build a fulfilling future.
Long-Term Mentorship Commitment
We believe in lifelong support. That’s why our mentorship continues long after the program ends, offering real relationships and guidance that evolve with each one's journey.
