Tamarisk
is a nonprofit organization based in Raleigh, NC. We envision a city in which young adults in foster care do not face injustice once they transition out of the system.
What do you do?
Tamarisk Community is a space created just for you—a place where young adults who have aged out of foster care can find support, friendship, opportunities, and hope. We understand the unique challenges you may face during this transition, and we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
A Place to Be Known
Here, you’ll find a community that genuinely cares about who you are. Through shared meals, events, and meaningful conversations, our goal is for you to feel seen, valued, and heard.
A Place for Rest and Refuge
Life can be overwhelming, especially without a steady place to land. Tamarisk offers a safe space to take a break, refuel, and feel supported in an environment that feels like home.
A Place for Opportunity
Whether you’re interested in finishing school, finding a job, or simply exploring your passions, we’re here to help. From mentorship to practical resources, we’re invested in your journey toward independence and success.
