Seattle Angels is an innovative nonprofit that seeks to change the way children, youth and families experience the foster care system. We believe that if we can get every child, youth, and family in the foster care system in our programs, we have a great chance of changing the world we live in.

Our fast-growing organization has a start-up mentality, but also a level of professionalism and drive that is not found in most nonprofits.
