Our Programs

Graduate Program

Graduate Program

The Graduate Program provides young adults transitioning from foster or orphan care with what they need most: people who believe in them. Through personalized mentorship and guidance, participants build the relationships, skills, and confidence needed for healthy, independent lives. The program offers a safety net of support during a critical transition, helping young adults who lack family networks develop meaningful connections, make informed decisions, and build a foundation for their future.

Orphanage Support

Orphanage Support

Orphan Outreach provides Orphanage Support to government-run orphanages that offer basic care for children who are orphaned or removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, including children with special needs. In Russia, up to 90% of children who enter the child protection system remain there until aging out as teenagers. We partner with local volunteers to meet physical and emotional needs through humanitarian aid, tutoring, mentoring, life skills training, and social activities.

Why It Matters

20%

Russian children live in Poverty

Children and their families face social exclusion because of lack of access to basics.

340,000

Children are orphaned or without family care

Many live in traditional orphanages or in foster care. It is estimated that 90% of all children entering an orphanage in Russia will remain there until they transition out of that care.

15,000

Young Adults leave orphanage or foster care each year

There is no formal data on the number of young adults in Russia who are orphaned, and the government provides limited support those who have transitioned out of orphan or foster care.

15-20%

Young Adults pursue higher education after leaving orphanages

Having access to safe housing, job opportunities, and mentorship are essential to success in adulthood.

Our Transformational Approach

In Russia, our local staff walks alongside young adults and their families as they focus on education, physical wellbeing, social-emotional growth, and spiritual support. Our team meets young adults where they are—in their communities, honoring their stories, building hope for their futures.

EDUCATION

Learning goes beyond the classroom. Our local educators and mentors walk alongside children-building knowledge, life skills, and hope in the places they call home.

PHYSICAL WELLBEING

Meeting essential physical needs removes barriers to learning, and allows children to focus, grow, and succeed in school and life.

SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL GROWTH

Through supportive relationships, education, and professional support, children experience safety, find healing, and build resilience.

SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

Grounded in compassion, children are invited to know and experience the unconditional love of God.
