Together, We Touch Lives and Transform Futures
At Touch Foundation for Change, we believe every young person deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive. Founded by Carolyn White—whose journey from homelessness and gang involvement to legal advocacy and mentorship inspires everything we do—our mission is rooted in lived experience, compassion, and the unwavering belief that no child should be defined by their past. We exist to support youth who are too often mislabeled, misunderstood, and left behind by broken systems that punish instead of uplift.
Our holistic, trauma-informed 8-Step Model helps at-risk youth overcome emotional wounds, build life skills, receive legal advocacy, and reengage with education and opportunity. Using personalized development plans powered by our proprietary assessment software, we provide wrap-around services that treat the whole person—not just the symptoms. Whether you’re here for support, partnership, or purpose, we invite you to be part of a new story—one of healing, dignity, and generational change.
