Bloom Our Youth, Inc. is a Georgia-based nonprofit dedicated to foster care. It pursues a family-centered approach aimed at safeguarding and supporting foster children and the families who care for them. The organization operates two core initiatives—a community-based program to recruit, train, and support foster parents, and The Bloom Closet, a resource-focused effort for families. Collectively, these programs serve about 1,500 foster children across sixty Georgia counties, with a higher concentration of clients south of the Atlanta metropolitan area. In 2015 the organization expanded its services to include medically fragile foster children and pregnant or parenting foster teens. Based in Fayetteville, the organization operates within the individual and family services sector. Its work centers on connecting communities with programs designed to support vulnerable children and their families, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes. In January 2024, Bloom Our Youth appointed Gina Licwinko as director of operations, signaling leadership expansion. More information is available on its website at bloomouryouth.org.
