Our commitment to families
JoTerrell Foundation is on a mission to make sure no child has to choose between their family’s struggles and their education. Working alongside counselors, principals and social workers, we adopt children and their families into a year-round program — paying the bills that threaten stability, filling the gaps in the classroom and making sure no one goes hungry.
Work with usHow adoption works
Four steps, one family at a time. Select a step to see how it works.
Step N.1
School Referral
Counselors and social workers at our partner schools know their students by name. They identify families who need support and refer them to us confidentially, with the family’s consent.
Our Mission
Lift families so children can simply be students.
Every adopted family receives support across four areas — so nothing stands between a child and the classroom.
